Ok that one is not in the manual... Base.parse_input_line() is what you
want.
julia> ex = """
a = 1
b = 2
a + b
"""
"a = 1\nb = 2\na + b\n"
julia> ast = Base.parse_input_line(ex)
:($(Expr(:toplevel, :(a = 1), :(b = 2), :(+(a,b)))))
julia> ast.head
:toplevel
julia> ast.args
3-element Array{Any,1}:
:(a = 1)
:(b = 2)
:(+(a,b))
