Not implement yet. Perhaps for 1.0?

You can open two or more files in the same python program and copy or move
datasets or complete hierachies between them. Is that enough for you?
Anyway, mounting files in other existing hierarchy is a nice idea, so I'll
ponder implementing that (provided it won't be very difficult, and I don't
think so).

Sorry, I don't know exactly what do you mean by that. Can you be more
specific about your needs?
