Review Comment:
   I think dictionary type (composite type including struct) is not implicitly 
cast to other numeric type.
   
   For example,
   ```
   postgres=# select array[row(1, 'a'), 'b'];
   ERROR:  input of anonymous composite types is not implemented
   LINE 1: select array[row(1, 'a'), 'b'];
                                     ^
   postgres=# select array[row(1, 'a')::TEXT, 'b'];
       array    
   -------------
    {"(1,a)",b}
   (1 row)
   ```
   
   But, given it is already used heavily and implicitly casting is also not a 
big issue, I think I also prefer to keep it unchanged.
