This has been filed in MS product feedback some time ago:

It is a minor, by annoying lack of functionality, so it would be good to vote 
on it.

This is a problem for all languages using SRE. I guess productfeedback is 
*some* way to get it fixed by MS side. 

SRE has one big advantage, you can easily set target of compiler to compile 
into memory and you created types immediately, thus it quite strightforward 
to compile features like eval, where you create code in you program and want 
it to execute.
