I think one of the points of the instrument switches was that you could
do as many as you liked in a row (namely, attaching the instrument
switch to the start of any music variable to be used for a particular
instrument) without triggering extraneous switch messages.

<>^\markup would seem to defeat that part of the original design.  While
we don't need the instrumentSwitch command as such, the respective
engravers weeding out duplication still serve a purpose.
