I haven't looked at the Tip of the Day description recently, but I
have a few folders on my local tree, where I bind the central sources
into in such a way that I can have my own local files overshadowing
the central ones

bind -c $home/src/kernel/pc $home/src/kernel/pc
bind -a /sys/src/9/pc $home/src/kernel/pc

You should then be able to copy one of the central .i files into you bound location. making it read/writable for you and it overshadowing the central one.
