        Timestepper for **difficulty-based** d-dimensional (`d ∈ {1, 2, 3}`)
        semi-linear PDEs consisting of a quadratic, a single-channel convection,
        and a gradient norm nonlinearity together with an arbitrary combination
        of (isotropic) linear derivatives. Uses a difficulty-based interface
        where the "intensity" of the dynamics reduces with increasing
        resolution. This is intended such that emulator learning problems on two
        resolutions are comparibly difficult.

        Different to `exponax.stepper.generic.NormalizedNonlinearStepper`, the
        dynamics are defined by difficulties. The difficulties are a different
        combination of normalized dynamics, `num_spatial_dims`, and
        `num_points`.

            γᵢ = αᵢ Nⁱ 2ⁱ⁻¹ d

        with `d` the number of spatial dimensions, `N` the number of points, and
        `αᵢ` the normalized coefficient.

        The difficulties of the nonlinear terms are

            δ₀ = β₀

            δ₁ = β₁ * M * N * D

            δ₂ = β₂ * M * N² * D

        with `βᵢ` the normalized coefficient and `M` the maximum absolute value
        of the input state (typically `1.0` if one uses the `exponax.ic` random
        generators with the `max_one=True` argument).

        This interface is more natural than the normalized interface because the
        difficulties for all orders (given by `i`) are around 1.0. Additionally,
        they relate to stability condition of explicit Finite Difference schemes
        for the particular equations. For example, for advection (`i=1`), the
        absolute of the difficulty is the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) number.

        Under the default settings, this timestep corresponds to a Burgers
        equation in single-channel mode.

        **Arguments:**

        - `num_spatial_dims`: The number of spatial dimensions `d`.
        - `num_points`: The number of points `N` used to discretize the domain.
            This **includes** the left boundary point and **excludes** the right
            boundary point. In higher dimensions; the number of points in each
            dimension is the same. Hence, the total number of degrees of freedom
            is `Nᵈ`.
        - `linear_difficulties`: The list of difficulties `γᵢ` corresponding to
            the linear derivatives. The length of this tuple represents the
            highest occuring derivative. The default value `(0.0, 0.0, 0.1 * 0.1
            / 1.0 * 48**2 * 2)` together with the default `nonlinear_difficulties`
            corresponds to the Burgers equation.
        - `nonlinear_difficulties`: The list of difficulties `δ₀`, `δ₁`, and `δ₂`
            (in this order) corresponding to the quadratic, (single-channel)
            convection, and gradient norm nonlinearity, respectively. The default
            value `(0.0, -1.0 * 0.1 / 1.0 * 48, 0.0)` corresponds to a
            (single-channel) convection nonlinearity. Note that all nonlinear
            contributions are considered to be on the right-hand side of the PDE.
        - `maximum_absolute`: The maximum absolute value of the input state. This
            is used to scale the nonlinear difficulties.
        - `order`: The order of the ETDRK method to use. Must be one of {0, 1, 2,
            3, 4}. The option `0` only solves the linear part of the equation.
            Use higher values for higher accuracy and stability. The default
            choice of `2` is a good compromise for single precision floats.
        - `dealiasing_fraction`: The fraction of the wavenumbers to keep before
            evaluating the nonlinearity. The default value `2/3` corresponds to
            Orszag's 2/3 rule. To fully eliminate aliasing, use 1/2.
        - `num_circle_points`: How many points to use in the complex contour
            integral method to compute the coefficients of the exponential time
            differencing Runge Kutta method.
        - `circle_radius`: The radius of the contour used to compute the
