-/// # Usage
-///
-/// Prefer to use this format for debugging and logging purposes. Because the output contains
-/// the raw bits, it is easy to check it against serialized scene data.
-///
-/// Example serialized scene data:
-/// ```text
-/// (
-///   ...
-///   entities: {
-///     4294967297: (  <--- Raw Bits
-///       components: {

-///   ...
-/// )
-/// ```
+/// For a unique [`u64`] representation, use [`Entity::to_bits`].
