Forget about superscripting prime .. that's a traditional tex thing as
in cm/lm fonts the prime is so big that it has to be (super)scripted to
look okay.
The prime in unicode is a normal one so that's what we now support, also
for the lm fonts. Just compare:
\startformula
A\prime
\hbox spread 1em{\hss or\hss}
A^{\prime}
\hbox spread 1em{\hss or\hss}
A'
\stopformula
Keep in mind that most users expect ' to be a prime.
