Too rich for my blood...

Should have qualified a SIL licensed FLOSS relevant Monospaced font with OTF
:smcp support.

Otherwise, if font supports :scmp user can/should just enable it via Character
dialog's Features... button for the selection/paragraph they're working on. Or
directly enter it in the font listbox (TB or SB).

Enhancement of auto-detection that font supports :smcp feature and applying via
Font Effects 'Small capitals' Case selection is feasible but not much of a
priority.

Pass it on for UX-advise for a decision on enhancement.
