no, in such cases, just create another typeface with relevant fonts
using smallcaps and then switch to that typeface

hm, it's nbot that complex, just define a featureset and use it; one can
even adapt features in between if needed (dynamic features)
you can be pretty sure that whatever you 'predefine'
(font-blabla-using-oldstyle-and-smallcaps) will have exceptions and then
we end up with n! possible combinations
