See the `compile()` documentation for the difference between eval/single/exec:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#compile

`exec` is meant for multiline program, for example you would "exec" the string 
read from a file to get a module. 

I don't think we should re-document what each of these does, but list the 
possible values that compile_command/CommandCompiler() can take.
