Comment (by Simon Charette):

 I'd add that the usual way to implement such a feature is using a partial
 composite unique index which is something #29547 is trying to add support
 for.

 In the mean time you can enforce it at the database level using a
 `RunSQLOperation`.

 {{{#!sql
 CREATE UNIQUE INDEX pinned_tweet ON tweet (user_id, pinned) WHERE pinned =
 true;
 }}}

 If your database doesn't support partial index a workaround would be to
 declare your `pinned` field as `NULL`able and use `NULL` as the ''falsey''
 value as it will be ignored in unique constraints.
