After some additional thoughts, I am thinking that changing the behaviour of ``compile`` in ``'eval'`` mode directly might be a better idea, for consistency all over the builtin functions. 

Especially that it is a bit complex to decide if ``compile`` is called in ``'eval'`` mode all over the code base which may need to patch with ``lstrip`` sanitisation.
