* Notice that base32hex differs from base32 in the alphabet it uses.
* The distinction is that the base32hex representation preserves the
* order of the underlying data when compared as bytestrings, this is
* useful when representing NSEC3 hashes, as one can then verify the
* order of hashes directly from their representation. */
