But tipa is not a font family, it's a "superfamily", including
Roman, slanted, bold, bold-extended, and sans families. Putting
\usepackage{tipa} has the effect that text inside \tipaencoding{...}
will be ipa Roman, ipa sans, etc., depending on the context. So,
it works just like color.
Perhaps the developers might consider institutionalizing my hack,
so one could customize by substituting superfamilies for colors.
