Default Wire bathroom exhaust fan to light?

I've now hooked it up, and it's so quiet that you'd hardly know it's on.
It's a GE that's claimed to be super-quiet, and indeed it is -- nothing
at all like some of the motel bathroom fans I've encountered (which
probably had clapped-out bearings and were ready for the dumpster).

the light so the switch turned both on. That was annoying.


We want to add an exhaust fan to our bathroom, but rather than fish wires
through walls, is it OK to wire the fan to the existing light fitting
(separate recessed fitting for the shower, so there's already a ground
wire)?

Any Code issues here?
