Note you can run PASE and ILE in the same IBM i job, so there's that for
overlap. Not as much as you were probably hoping for but I wanted to make
sure everyone knew that. You can learn more here:

Thanks for this Aaron! An interesting idea. I'm glad Tony put the
binaries up on the YiPS page, because I don't have the XLC compiler :-(

For those following along, the way this works is that you wrapper an
existing PASE function with a simple little C program that implements a
callback into an ILE program. Sort of similar to wrappering an RPG
program so it can be used as an SQL UDF. Nifty!
