Steps to reproduce

#requires-modules psworkflow
#requiresCrazyThings -psed desktop

The #Requires directive doesn't seem to require some kind of separation from its keyword to the next token, but not providing that separation causes an error anyway.

PS C:\> #requiresCrazyThings -psed desktop
At line:1 char:2
+ #requiresCrazyThings -psed desktop
+  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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"
+ CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ScriptRequiresInvalidFormat

PS C:\>

I am just not sure this is right. A inexperienced user could stumble across this by accident thinking he's just entering a comment. I have seen plenty of reports already of new users who are confused when the editor starts highlighting items in a comment, turning them in as bug reports.
