This bug seems to be dup of

#284646: sed: Documentation does not properly document effects of
         multiple commands

Also, other this one is quite similar.

#342739: sed: manpage is lacking


Panu, when (maybe) doing patches, please note, that in sources there are
many additional commands (e.g. 'e') flags for 's'(I,i,M,m,e, NUM>9)...

Probably documentation was lost somewhere?
