This will print the count of whitespace chars in a line:

writeln(count!isWhite(line));

What I need is the count of whitspace chars until the first non-whitespace char is found, essentially I need a "countWhile" template:

writeln(countWhile!isWhite(line));

Can I do this with existing templates somehow?

There is std.algorithm.countUntil, which does what's basically
the opposite. Just negate your predicate, and presto's your uncle.
