Not sure I understand. When you want to define one specific specialization
like A<10>, that's what an explicit specialization is for. A partial
specialization is useful when you want to define the template for some
larger subset of the possible template arguments.

Though C++20's constraints and concepts will actually make it possible to
do partial specializations of a template like your A (without changing A to
add another dummy template parameter, like the "template <int N, typename
Enable=void>" technique). For example, to define A for all argument values
10 or larger:

namespace N {
template <int N> requires (N >= 10)
struct A<N> {
  A() { std::cout << "A<N>() [N>=10]\n\n"; }
};
}
