sure, but then we need an extraextraextrafeatures later, so i'd rather
ponder about an extendable solution; kind of
\definefontfeature[extras][]
\definefontfeature[plushz][expansion=quality]
\definefontfeature[extras][plushz]
\definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [Sans] [features={smallcaps,extras}]
anyhow, the whole feature support is somewhat floating and will be
extended anyway
