I personally think we should choose an initial global access API to the AST as a starting API. I like the sys.asttransformations idea since it is simple and gives enough access that whether read-only or read-write is allowed something like PyChecker can get the access it needs.

I haven't been following the AST stuff closely enough, but I'm not crazy about putting access to this in the sys module. It seems like it clutters that up with a name that will be rarely used by the average Python programmer.
