As for me, it yields lots of inconveniences (lots of my code should be 
rewritten, since I didn't know it before):

from numpy import *
a = array((1.0, 2.0), float128)
b=asfarray(a)
type(a[0])
#<type 'numpy.float128'>
type(b[0])
#<type 'numpy.float64'>
 __version__
'1.0.5.dev4767'

Shouldn't it be changed? (I.e. let's left 128).
As for me I use asfarray() very often since I don't know does user 
provide arrays as numpy ndarray or matrix or Python list/tuple.
