[Help-bash] nested local function

Hi,

I think that there is no way to define a local function in function.
For example, g is available outside f. And if I add "local" before
"function g", I will get syntax error.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

function f {
echo "$0"
function g {
echo in g
}
g
}

f
g

Could anybody confirm with me that there is no local function support in bash?

P.S., if you want to suggest some walkaround other than addressing my
question directly, please refrain from doing so, as I'm not interested
these irrelevant answers.
