It is not well suited but there are analog cells that are used with
digital processes. For example PLLs and higs speed LVDS links. Those are
always full custom blocks and quite often provided by the vendor. I know
that they are not fun to do with digital process :)

For example 2.5Gbit/s LVDS link is quite normal stuff with 0.18u digital
processes. Those blocks have even analog functionalities (pre-ephasis for
the signal etc.)
