It reminds me of what other wrappers do. The second
constructor pair is the proper one and takes the regular
arguments to construct the object. Sometimes though you
already got an object returned from C code and you merely want
to wrap it. That's what the first constructor pair is for. You
can see how the second pair of constructors always forwards to
the first pair with a newly created wxTreeItemId expressed as
an IntPtr.

Maybe IntPtr should be a pointer to an opaque struct instead:
  struct WxObject;
  alias WxObject* IntPtr;
That could resolve the current issue that 2 of the
constructors take the same types of arguments, (void*).

If this is the only place with this error, you can probably
remove the 3rd and 4th ctor. From the manual: "A wxTreeItemId
is not meant to be constructed explicitly by the user; only those
returned by the wxTreeCtrl functions should be used."
And taking a wild guess here without looking at the code, I
assume TreeCtrl calls the 2nd ctor.
