So the user has to know in which fashion the small caps were created, as font
feature or in a seperate file. That's not very convenient. When the user
switches to another font it may break the document, since he has to change the
\setff{smallcaps} to \sc.

Maybe it is possible that the \sc macro can check if the font contains the
small caps as a feature. Is there a switch like
\doiffontfeatureexists{smcp}{...}? I have the following logic in mind:

1) Check if small caps are a font feature, if not
2) check if small caps are in a seperate font, if not
3) fake them.
