small capital letters in math environment

I would like to use small capital letters as variables for points in geometry (I want to reserve normal capitals for relation symbols). What I don't like about scriptstyle is the fact that it not only reduces the size of the letters but also that of the indices and spacing. Writing e.g.
scriptstyle Adisplaystyle_1, scriptstyle Adisplaystyle_2
is quite cumbersome however. The use of brackets for the arguments of scriptstyle are of no use here unfortunately – the code after the brackets stays within the scope of scriptstyle (till the end of the math environment).
Is there an easier way? Or is there a standard for small caps in math environment?

Do you want the small-caps letters to be typeset upright or slanted? Which text font and math font families do you employ?

I think it would be nice to have them slanted. I haven't specified any font families, so they must be the standard ones. What do you think of egreg's solution?

Why not just textsc? I believe that this could cause issues if invoked in a smaller math style, but you don't want that anyway, it would seem. NOTE: the small-caps letters are not in italic.

@Larry There's plenty of math alphabets; why not using sans serif for relations?
