Add PostSharp Aspect to System.IO namespace?

Question

I am looking to add my aspect to the system.io namespace, I already searches lots of solutions which didn't do the trick but basically I want to handle exceptions and do some logging on the File class from System.IO namespace. Just like adding [MyAspect] to the top of the class..

Is there a way?

Let's consider aspect like this:

[PSerializable]
public class MyAspect : OnMethodBoundaryAspect
{
    public override void OnEntry(MethodExecutionArgs args)
    {
    }
}

You can apply this aspect to any 3rd assembly called from your project by applying MyAspect:

[assembly: MyAspect(AttributeTargetAssemblies = "mscorlib", AttributeTargetTypes = "System.IO.*")]

When you specify this assembly attribute then PostSharp decorates all calls from your project to methods from System.IO namespace in mscorlib assembly with MyAspect.
