TypeScript: is there an interface for array-like object?

Question

Suppose I know that I have array like ['string', 10, true];. Is there a way to write an interface for it? I know there's globally indexed interface:

interface IEntry {
    [i:number]:string;
}

But typing the following is not working:

interface IEntry {
    [0]:string;
    [1]:number;
    [2]:boolean;
}

Yes. Typescript tuples.

type Entry: [string, number, boolean];

var entry: Entry = ['foo', 1, false]; 
var exit: Entry = ['bar']; // tsc error
