Well, there's ya problem, freebasic comments don't start with `;` 
([see](https://www.freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=ProPgComments)) so the 
parser is justifiably confused by all those lines.  So the freebasic parser is 
not going to work for autoit.

To be more clear _loading_ an existing tags file doesn't need the language 
parser, after all its reading the tags file not a source file.  But it does 
need a tag parser language to be specified on the filetype since the tags must 
be associated with a parser language, thats how autocomplete finds them in the 
mass of tags for multiple languages, the same as it finds symbols the parser 
gets from open files, which is why you need to specify `tag_parser` for the 
tags to load.

Well, I guess you could try modifying the freebasic parser to make an autoit 
one.
