Document incompatibility between normal interface and indexable type interfaces

The Person
interface cannot be assigned to the Dict
interface. According to microsoft/TypeScript#15300, this is intended behavior
However, it is not intuitive behavior and should be documented. The Indexable Interfaces section in the Interfaces page seems like a good place.
interface Dict {
[index: string]: string;
}
interface Person {
name: string;
age: number;
}
const person: Person = { name: "Brendan Elrich", age: 57 };
let y: Dict
y = person; // error: Index signature is missing in type
