Issue Description

When using #Requires -Modules with a hashtable (valid per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_requires):

Requires -Modules PSWorkflow @{
  ModuleName="PSScheduledJob"
  ModuleVersion="1.0.0.0"
}

The hashtable is marked as invalid within VS Code:

Cannot process the #requires statement because it is not in the correct format.
The #requires statement must be in one of the following formats:
 "#requires -shellid <shellID>"
 "#requires -version <major.minor>"
 "#requires -psedition <edition>"
 "#requires -pssnapin <psSnapInName> [-version <major.minor>]"
 "#requires -modules <ModuleSpecification>"
 "#requires -runasadministrator"

What version of PSSA is getting loaded into the integrated console. You should be able to check this with:

(Get-Runspace 4).CreatePipeline("gmo psscriptanalyzer").Invoke()

[omniomi]

@rkeithhill 1.16.1

[rkeithhill]

OK, that message is coming from PSScriptAnalyzer but in this case it is correct. A #Requires is a special line comment. It can't span multiple lines. Try using this instead:

#Requires -Modules PSWorkflow,@{ModuleName="PSScheduledJob"; ModuleVersion="1.0.0.0"}

@rkeithhill, that was a copy paste directly from about_requires. If it cannot be multi-line I will submit a documentation issue to Microsoft.

[rkeithhill]

I'm ~90% sure that's a doc bug.

[omniomi]

@rkeithhill, fair enough. I have honestly never tried. Just working on the EditorSyntax repo. Will submit a doc bug report.
