> The BooleanType validator accepts any byte (it only checks it's one byte
> long) and the comparator actually uses the ByteBuffer.compareTo() method on
> it's input. So that BooleanType is really ByteType and accepts 256 values.
> Note that in practice, it's likely no-one or almost no-one has ever used
> BooleanType as a comparator, and almost surely the handful that might have
> done it have stick to sending only 0 for false and 1 for true. Still, it's
> probably worth fixing before it actually hurt someone.
