Ah, I think I see.  The 'in' parameter is not wanting a typeType, but a
typeFSS, according to its dictionary.  So param_type() says "no, this is
really supposed to be typeType," which is necessary in Mac::Glue and not
AppleScript, again, because in AppleScript this would be helped along by
the fact that 'window' would be a bareword in AppleScript, but must be a
simple string in Perl.
