Currently you can't do that. But its a nice to have this. I would like
to have something like this:

:schedules:
  :foo_worker:
    :foobar:
      :trigger_args: */5 * * * * * *
      :data: hello_world
    :barbar:
      :trigger_args: */10 * * * * * *
      :data: Bar_World

Can be easily implemented, but again, we will have to change format of
backgroundrb.yml because of this. Is this ok?
