Huh, the message I got is:
winmain.d(13): Deprecation: function 
core.runtime.Runtime.initialize is deprecated - Please use the 
overload of Runtime.initialize that takes no argument.

Maybe different dmd versions. Oh well.

Is there a difference?

The source tells:

    static bool initialize()
    {
        return !!rt_init();
    }

/// C interface for Runtime.initialize, returns 1/0 instead of 
bool
extern(C) int rt_init();


So no real difference.

Why do Runtime.initialize() AND rt_init() both exist?

idk
