I needed read access to this namespace and so bound an exportfs in /srv as
one of the last lines of cpurc.  You could spawn an agent which was prepared
to receive, over a /srv pipe, the name of a /srv pipe and mount it over
/net.alt.  Note that this trick clutters /srv fast, but if you only need to
apply it once...
