I have a lot of opaque types in C headers i'm porting to D. What is the best way to handle these? Would you just use void pointers?

In the below example Tcl_AsyncHandler_ is not defined anywhere.

C:
typedef struct Tcl_AsyncHandler_ *Tcl_AsyncHandler;

D:
alias void* Tcl_AsyncHandler;

D:
struct Tcl_AsyncHandler_;
alias Tcl_AsyncHandler = Tcl_AsyncHandler_*;

Ah right, thanks. I didn't know D allows such types.
