select 'depesz depeszx depesz' ~ E'^(.*)( \\1)+$';

what's worse:
$ select regexp_replace( 'depesz depeszx depesz', E'^(.*)( \\1)+$', E'\\1' );
 regexp_replace 
────────────────
 depesz
(1 row)

I know that Pg regexps are limited, but even grep's regexps match this
correctly:

=$ printf 'depesz depesz depesz\ndepesz depeszx depesz\n' | grep -E '^(.*)( 
\1)+$';
depesz depesz depesz

Best regards,

depesz
