Actually I don't know. I assume it's something else, but even if not, that
doesn't make a real difference.

And if the next vendor flags __fastcall as an error and only accepts
__satanarchäolügenialkohöllisch then I would add that one, too? Sorry, but I'm
definitely not going to adjust cc65 to the syntax highlighting of some
compiler vendor.

The correct way is of course to adjust intellisense. While I'm using VS almost
daily, I don't know it good enough to have a complete solution. A quick search
using Google finds this page for example:

There's probably more information out in the net. You can also have a look at
other tools like Eclipse, which may be easier extendible.
