You can add more alternatives (\it, \bf ...) to the font mechanism but
this requires additional settings (\definebodyfont ...) to get it
working. A limiting factor is that you have to stick to two-letter names for each alternative

If you don't mind a question from a lapsed user: what is the= reason for this restriction? It seems arbitrary but I have a feeling it= 9;s some vanilla-TeX thing which I have forgotten.

and the easier solution is to create addit= ional
typefaces.

Also most likely sanity preserving!
