Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by tracing how the generator maps WebIDL object for function arguments and class members, then compare the generated declarations for document.scrollIntoView and PaymentResponse.prototype.details. Done means argument types use { [x:string]: any } where appropriate while the member remains any.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

For example, document.scrollIntoView should receive object | boolean while PaymentResponse.prototype.details should still be any to allow arbitrary property access. (https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/18228)

PS: WebIDL object can be safely mapped to { [x:string]: any }, so we can use it so that both object on function argument and class member can be mapped without any complexity.
