Currently the man page says this:

    -e PATTERN, --regexp=PATTERN
              Use PATTERN as the pattern; useful to protect
              patterns  beginning with -.

If this were changed to read:

    -e PATTERN, --regexp=PATTERN
              Use PATTERN as the pattern.  This can be used
              to specify multiple patterns, or to protect a
              pattern beginning with a hyphen (-).

Would that be enough for you?
