you can accomplish this simply by using the plumber which,
by convention, shares a namespace with rio.  suppose you
want insert to work with sources.  then plumbing the string
	Local 9fs sources
will allow insert to wor.  alternatively, one might wish
to import sources with an aan connection before starting
rio.  this works pretty well for me since most of the time
it's fairly easy to anticipate the stuff you're going to add
to the namespace.
