Hmm, I'm not sure. If my guess is correct, it wouldn't appropriate to
deal \newline and \linebreak the same way as \\, since they aren't
equivalent in tabular-like environments (that is, alignments are
specified by & signs). For example,
----------------------------------------------------------------------
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
ab & cd & ef \\
gh & ij & kl \newline
mn & op & qr
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
leads to the following error:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
./xyz.tex:6: Extra alignment tab has been changed to \cr.
<recently read> \endtemplate
l.6 mn &
op & qr
----------------------------------------------------------------------
On the other hands, it may be make sense to include lines ending with \\
in filling outside such environments.
