[web2py] how to pass db object to component?

[weheh]

What, if any, is the proper syntax for passing a db storage object to
a component?

In other words:

# controller
def index():
    query=...
    return dict(data=db(query).select())

# view
...
{{=LOAD('c1','f1')}}

So where in the LOAD statement can I pass in data as a db Storage or
must it be a dict?
