The patch below hangs TeX, for some reason. I have committed a change
to put \prime in superscript, which is what ' is supposed to do
in plain TeX.
It is said in the TeXbook (by Donald Knuth) that the prime symbol was
designed at that size to be used in a superscript position, which would
allow subscripts also to be present. The prime symbol could also appear
in the subscript position, occasionally.
