Thanks.  It's a bit inconvenient, because for each feature you want to
apply, you have to define a separate typeface.  Is it a bug, or is it
intended to be like that?

This is something only Hans can answer, what I wanted to show you is
that the problem isn’t related to the \definefontfamily command.

you can use dynamic features so apply additional ones any moment, but some features line slanting and extending are font instance bound as there the dimensions change and the abckend has to do some work

(I understand that this feature may not be needed often.  I need it to
apply different stretch values to a typeface I'm designing for testing
purposes.)


Is there any real purpose for this feature? The letters in the second and third
line don’t look beautiful because the horizontal and vertical strokes don’t 
match.

\definefontfeature [wide]   [extend=1.50]
\definefontfeature [narrow] [extend=0.75]

\definefontfamily [one]   [serif] [Latin Modern Roman]
\definefontfamily [two]   [serif] [Latin Modern Roman] [features={default,wide}]
\definefontfamily [three] [serif] [Latin Modern Roman] 
[features={default,narrow}]

\definebodyfontenvironment[50pt]

\starttext

\switchtobodyfont[one,50pt]Stretched

\switchtobodyfont[two,50pt]Stretched

\switchtobodyfont[three,50pt]Stretched

\stoptext
