Why IDBKeyRange.only() does not allow boolean?

Question

I have an index in my object store, created like this:

objStore.createIndex("pinned", "pinned");

I want to store values of boolean type there. And unfortunately I can't get only records with "pinned" field set to "true". Why does this happen? Is this my database design mistake?

IDBKeyRange.only(true)

In IndexedDB, a boolean value is not a valid key. See http://www.w3.org/TR/IndexedDB/#dfn-valid-key

I found this at IndexedDB - boolean index .
