That does work in CVS HEAD, but in existing releases you'll need to
spell the array constructor like this:

ARRAY[('chethan', 1,'10-05-1983')::emptype, ('ashok', 2, '10-05-1982')::emptype]

8.3 and before try to determine the array type too soon --- casting the
result of the constructor doesn't help them.
