This also sounds similar to some of the issues I dealt with in some experimental code I wrote to simulate the result of precompiling modules. In `eval_expr`, I dealt with the ability to handle some expressions specially (such as `=`) and to recurse into `module` declarations. (The net goal of this code was to serialize the result of each statement so that deserialize could replay the same results, but faster). https://github.com/vtjnash/Speed.jl/blob/master/src/Speed.jl#L104
