That way is the certainly the best. Just note that it is easy to
manipulate the ast to get what you wanted.
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 = :block
:block
julia> ast
quote
a = 1
b = 2
+(a,b)
end
