Mixing sodium hypochlorite and quaternary ammonia

Hi,
Can somebody let me know what reaction takes place when quaternary ammonia and chlorine bleach are mixed together? Is reaction the same as when bleach and ammonia are mixed?
Thanks.

Hypochlorite is a pretty good nucleophile, so you may be able to *Ignore me, I am impatient* a methyl group off, and bleach tends to be very basic so you may get an elimination of some sort. Honestly, I wouldn't go mixing the two.
