I would like to do something like CellularAutomaton[10, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2^5], but instead of running for 2^5, it should stop as soon as a configuration has been seen twice, and report the number of such steps taken. Is it possible to do this?

            One could use UnsameQ instead of DuplicateFreeQ @ ## & in the third argument.
