newline and whitespace: not sure how it is called in English, but these look like they have become single words and are fine.
I would not make such exceptions because there is no rational criterion to determine which multiple-word terms have become kinds of single-word terms, in english, AFAIK (eg: filename, dirname, drivename, fullname, shortname?). Anyway, D is not an english dialect, it just reuses the english lexicon. Programmers would be left in constant doubt. Thus, the only practical scheme is a systematic rule: more-than-one-word ==> camel-case. It's more annoying to type, agreed, for common 2-words-only terms; but one can then always guess what the correct form is --without any doubt.
