Hum, I thought that could be done on top of this one, but then, the
ambiguity of:

1. No samples for a cgroups matching that expression

2. No cgroups match that expression

Is real and warrants a warning for the 'no cgroups match the
--for-each-group regexp' case.

So I'll wait for v3 with that warning,

Thanks,
