aggregation of setof

Hi all,

I would like to write a query, which aggregates the results of regexp_matches(). The problem is that regexp_matches returnes setof text[] as documented even if I discard the global flag (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/functions-matching.html#FUNCTIONS-POSIX-REGEXP ). Thus resulting in an error when I try to aggregate the result:

"
SELECT array_accum(
regexp_matches('foobarbequebazilbarfbonk', '(b[^b]+)(b[^b]+)')
)
-------------------------------
ERROR: set-valued function called in context that cannot accept a set
********** Fehler **********
ERROR: set-valued function called in context that cannot accept a set
SQL Status:0A000
"

Can I convert a 'setof text[]' to a 'text[]'?

Alternatively I could use a sub-select, but I am curious if there are other solutions around.

Regards,
Andreas
