C# 7 Local Functions: are attributes / aspects allowed?

C# 7 introduced local functions (which is great!). Suppose I have the following code:

    using System;
    using PostSharp.Aspects;

    namespace AspectCS7
    {
        class Program
        {
            private static void Main()
            {
                [MyAspect]            
                void LocalFunction()
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Hello Aspect!");
                }

                LocalFunction();
            }
        }

        [Serializable]
        public class MyAspect : OnMethodBoundaryAspect
        {
            public override void OnEntry(MethodExecutionArgs args)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Entering Aspect");
            }
        }
    }

This code shows compile-time errors. Is it possible to apply attributes to local functions?

Attributes were allowed on local functions at one point. There are some examples on the web of local functions using attributes, however they're not allowed anymore.

Update: Here is an ongoing discussion on this topic: https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/issues/794.
