Method InteractiveInterpreter.runsource(source[, filename[, symbol]]) in CPython accepts 'single', 'eval' and 'exec' as symbol, while Jython accepts only 'single' and 'evel'

Per https://docs.python.org/2/library/code.html#code.InteractiveInterpreter.runsource

"symbol is the optional grammar start symbol, which should be either 'single' (the default) or 'eval'."

I would not be surprised if "exec" is also accepted if undocumented (and apparently untested). What's the purpose of this usage?
