/// Usage of the ordering and equality traits for this type may be surprising. Converting between
/// `CompactTarget` and `Target` is lossy *in both directions* (there are multiple `CompactTarget`
/// values that map to the same `Target` value). Ordering and equality for this type are defined in
/// terms of the underlying `u32`.
