Thank you.

This is nice, as TeX Gyre is a very good base for most use (unless one
specifically needs/wants a different font). So I wonder if \smallcaps
could be easily made to use this \feature automagically if it exists in
the font? Maybe it does this already:

\setupbodyfont[pagella]

\starttext

Text {\bf Text \feature[+][smallcaps]Text}

Text {\bf Text \smallcaps Text}

\stoptext
