Answering without checking the source (which is undoubtedly a bad idea), but 
this sounds like something else that could be addressed if it was possible to 
either register an alternate AST compiler for a scope, or else get hold of an 
AST and recompile it. (The former works for modules and functions, the latter 
works only for functions)

Even if it was only a matter of some additional keyword arguments to compile 
and/or exec, it could at least be of benefit for plugin code or an interactive 
interpreter loop.

Cheers,
Nick.
