Cause: Compiler's ConstantExpr parser returns an EmptyExpr for all empty persistent collections, even if they are of types other than the core collections (for example: records, sorted collections, custom collections). EmptyExpr reports its java class as one the classes - IPersistentList/IPersistentVector/IPersistentMap/IPersistentSet rather than the original type.

Proposed: If one of the Persistent* classes, then create EmptyExpr as before, otherwise retain the ConstantExpression of the original collection.
Since EmptyExpr is a compiler optimization that applies only to some concrete clojure collections, making EmptyExpr dispatch on concrete types rather than on generic interfaces makes the compiler behave as expected
