Features associated by `fontspec` with slanted fonts modify smallcap
upright fonts. To demonstrate this, we mark font shapes with different
colors using `SlantedFeatures` and `ItalicFeatures`. Upright forms
remain default black.
When a font does not have slanted variants, italic shapes are used when
slanted shapes are requested. For fonts without slanted shapes (such as
Junicode), the upright smallcaps examples below are black as expected.
For fonts with slanted shapes (as Latin Modern, or Junicode when an
explicit slanted font is specified), however, the upright smallcaps
examples are red.
(Tested with MiKTeX 2.9 current as of 2011-07-03. In particular, XeTeX
is version 0.9997.5, and fontspec is version 2.1f.)

See in particular column \verb!Slanted! row \verb!UP!, and column

samples below.
