I even keep my independently-hosted blog's domain registrar as WP.com so I can have one stop shopping in terms of service.

I didn't answer before because I know nothing about namecheap.

good luck

See here > Dasboard > Store

A domain name is a domain name is a domain name. What do you mean by "features"?

Please read this > WordPress.com vs WordPress.org: The Differences
WordPress.com does not sell domain names separate from domain mapping upgrades. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/register-domain/
If you purchase a domain mapping ugrade and register your domain through WordPress.com and later want it to point to a blog or website hosted elsewhere then you can do this by updating the nameservers.
