Summary:                    CTest options should be cumulative
Description: 
Writing a commandline like "ctest -R (foo|bar)" requires quoting of the regex
e.g. with bash as bash tries to interpret (|) itself. Also if the number of
expressions grows those regexes become clumsy.

It would be very nice if the same could be achieved by simply calling ctest -R
foo -R bar. The same probably applies to -L, -LE, -E, -I, and maybe also -A.

For the moment it would be at least helpful to warn if any of these is used
multiple times so it is obvious why it doesn't work.
