multichoose but limit the duplicates
$begingroup$
"n choose k" is how many combinations of: k-sized elements from n unique choices.
"n multichoose k" is how many k-sized elements from n choices, where full multiplicity is allowed (that is, {a, b, c} choose 3 can have {a, a, a}).
How do we calculate "n choose k by m" where we allow only m duplicates?

What do you mean by $n$ choose $k$ by $m$?
