Is it also possible to inherit the values from the previuos change,
e.g. I have enabled smallcaps and I want to enable oldstyle numerals
with another command, I tried this but the old setting is forgotten and
only the new setting work, how can I do this.

\usetypescript[palatino]
\setupbodyfont[palatino]

\definefontfeature[caps][smcp=yes,lnum=yes]
\definefontfeature[onum][onum=yes]

\def\sc{\setfontfeature{caps}}
\def\os{\setfontfeature{onum}}

\starttext

Text 123 \sc Text 123 \os Text 123

\stoptext

PS: Will the smallcaps key also work in a feature release of the latin
modern fonts, thid didn't work at the moment and I was forced to use
the Pagella fonts.
