Using compile and function(), you explicitely instanciate a new
function object, while using exec you're relying on a side effect.

Well... Your way:
d = {}
exec code in globals(), d
return d['foo']
My way:
return function(compile(code, '<string>', 'exec'), globals())
As far as I'm concern, it's two steps less - but YMMV, of course !-)

Yes, indeed. Which may or not be the right thing to do here, but this
is a different question (and one I can't actually answer).
