I have roughly the following code in C++ (vastly simplified from 
reality):

```cpp
template<typename T>
class Wrapper {
private:
   T t;
   bool valid;

public:
   bool isValid() { return valid; }
};


template<>
class Wrapper\<void> {
private:
   bool valid;

public:
   bool isValid() { return valid; }
};
```

I can bind Wrapper\<T> from D with no problem:

```d

extern(C++, class)
class Wrapper(T) {
   private T t;
   private bool valid;
   public final isValid();
}

```

But how can I bind Wrapper\<void> in D? Specifically, how do I 
even express that template specialization in D syntax?

Did you mean any of these?

1. Parameter specialization:
```d
extern(C++, class):
class Wrapper(T) {...}
class Wrapper(T : void) {...}
```
2. Template constraints:
```d
extern(C++, class):
class Wrapper(T) if(!is(T == void)) {...}
class Wrapper(T) if(is(T == void)) {...}
```
3. `static if`:
```d
extern(C++, class)
class Wrapper(T) {
   static if (!is(T == void))
     private T t;
   private bool valid;
   public final isValid();
}
```

Thanks! This got me unstuck. I've picked the first solution. It 
mirrors the C++ code nicely.

The embarrassing part is that I should have known the other two 
options, but my head got completely stuck trying to convert C++ 
to D too literally.
