Bound CRS does not roundtrip through WKT
See original GitHub issueCode Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible
Using the Bound CRS example from the geopandas docs:
>>> import pyproj
>>> crs = pyproj.CRS("+proj=lcc +lat_1=51.16666723333333 +lat_2=49.8333339 +lat_0=90 +lon_0=4.367486666666666 +x_0=150000.013 +y_0=5400088.438 +ellps=intl +towgs84=106.869,-52.2978,103.724,-0.33657,0.456955,-1.84218,1 +units=m +no_defs")
>>> crs.to_wkt()

Converting through WKT does not return the original CRS:
>>> crs2 = pyproj.CRS(crs.to_wkt())
>>> crs2 == crs
False
>>> crs.to_wkt() == crs2.to_wkt()
False
>>> crs2.to_wkt()

The WKT derived from each is a bit different:
>>> len(crs.to_wkt())
2020
>>> len(crs2.to_wkt())
2050
Expected Output
Bound CRS information should roundtrip through WKT, right? I didn’t see anything in the docs to suggest that this should be lossy.
