  [in]           LPCSTR                lpFileName, 
  _in_           LPCSTR                lpFileName, 

Oooh! Never seen that style before, but yep, that's what MSDN is using these days.
Best I can tell they ripped out "_in_" in 2020 (weird "SAL" which I ignored anyway)
and now they've stuck this in. I guess it follows the traditional pattern for C++:

Nevermind, easily fixable:

 
        if match("_",mtype)=1 then  --  "_In_", "_Inout_opt_", "_Out_" etc 
            mtype = stoken() 

 
        elsif equal(mtype,"[") then  -- "[in]", "[in, optional]", etc 
            while not equal(mtype,"]") do 
                mtype = stoken() 
            end while 
            mtype = stoken() 

(Methinks improving that error message is best left for a rainy day....)

Good catch, thanks.
