The documentation for that feature is ... scarce. It is only briefly
mentioned in the 'Changes' section of the 'luaotfload' manual, lacking
a reference in the main body (a usage example would be nice). It is
also completely lacking in the 'fontspec' manual.
Honestly, I would have never found this by myself. So: please update
the documentation! All the nifty additions are in vain if users don't
know how to find and use them.
