+-   For all selected upper or lower case letters in the latin, greek and
+-   cyrillic scripts this will try to create a small caps version of that glyph
+-   in a new glyph slot.
+-
+-   So if you select "A" (or "a") then a glyph "a.sc" will be created (if "a.sc"
+-   already exists, it will be reused, and its current contents cleared).
+-
+-   The contents of "a.sc" will be based on the upper case variant of this glyph
+-   (and that variant must be present for the command to work). FontForge will
+-   also create two lookups (unless appropriate ones already exist) one, bound
+-   to the feature 'c2sc' will map upper case letters to small caps, the other,
+-   bound to feature 'smcp' will map lower case letters to small caps.
