Sure, fine with me.  I am not in love with the sys idea, just seemed
reasonable.  I just happen to think of the compiler module as this
Python implementation of the bytecode compiler and not as this generic
package where all compiler-related stuff goes.  But if we move towards
removing the parts of the compiler package that overlap with any AST
being exposed that would be great.
