As of Julia v0.7, running the snippet

eval(Expr(:toplevel,
   Expr(:module, true, :MyModule,
     Expr(:block, 
        Expr(:export, :Inner),
        Expr(:abstract, :Inner)))))

yields the error

ERROR: syntax: "export" expression not at top level
Stacktrace:
 [1] eval at ./boot.jl:319 [inlined]
 [2] eval(::Expr) at ./client.jl:399
 [3] top-level scope at none:0

After much tinkering, I discovered that adding a dummy LineNumberNode fixes the problem:

eval(Expr(:toplevel,
   Expr(:module, true, :MyModule,
     Expr(:block, 
        LineNumberNode(0),
        Expr(:export, :Inner),
        Expr(:abstract, :Inner)))))

Still, this seems like a bug, and the behavior didn't exist prior to v0.7. Possibly related to #28990.

fix #28991, error when adding default defs to constructed module Exprs

The code for this expected the first element of a block to be a line
number; check to make sure it is before using it.
