Excuse my ignorance, but how is this different from schedwhen except for the limiting arguments and the implied ability for multiple triggers from one instrument? Could not schedule/schedwhen be updated to to include these features?

Here is (doc of) an opcode which starts new instrument events from
the orchestra at k-rate. Events are started every time a triggering
signal is non-zero. Event generation may be limited in two ways:
by setting a minimum time interval between generated events, or
by specifying a maximum number of simultaneous instruments instances.
Events may also be deferred.
This opcode may be useful for things like generating strumming gestures,
or for some types of algorithmic composition.
