There are a few font switches which change the style dependant on the

Thanks for this table; I wikified it (under Font Switches, of course).
It mysteriously introduces \typeface, \swapface and \boldface.

I wonder, though, is there anything similar to boldsmallcapitals?
Does this even exist in any fonts?

It depends on the font, with Latin Modern this isn’t possible because it uses
a separate font for smallcaps but with TeX Gyre you can do this:

\setupbodyfont[pagella]

\starttext

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

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

\stoptext

but I guess you’re looking for something like this (similar to the
LaTeX font system):


I wouldn't dream of something similar to LaTeX...

The font switches aren't that bad but as I have shown there is no need
to have different commands for \XXX{....} and {\XXX ...}.
