Will there be a way to get back into the default top-level namespace?

My Amber compiler is currently adding a few extra subs to some of the
standard parrot PMCs, and I won't be able to do this if I'm in the
Amber
namespace as soon as I emit '.HLL "amber"'.
Yep. That should work. The default parrot namespace isn't yet layed
out, but .HLL '' could of course reset the default namespace to the
very root.
Adding symbols to a different namespace can easily be achieved by:
ns = get_namespace ['parrot'; 'Integer']
ns['sym'] = sub
BTW
ns = get_namespace ['xx']
which defaults to
ns = get_namespace 'xx'
isn't specced and not implemented. Currently you'd have to use an
one-element array.
