# explicitly passing PyCF_ONLY_AST. We fall back to Any for other values of flags.

We can potentially be more precise here: if mode is "eval", the node must be an _ast.expr.

Would we have to duplicate all 8 overloads from ast.parse, or does compile only take "exec", "eval" or "single" for the mode parameter?

Yes, we would. ast.parse just calls compile(). I think it's fine to stick with AST for simplicity.

Though I think we'd only need four overloads because the second argument to compile() is required, unlike ast.parse.

Hmm. Four overloads isn't that bad? But I don't have a strong opinion either way.
