Don't put primes in supscripts (primes in tex are actually a mess and 
what we have now evolved over years so i don't want to touch it ... 
maybe at some poin ti'll fix the fonts (using vf features)).  In old 
school tex (fonts) primes are raised (the ' is made active), in new 
school fonts primes are already raised. There we also need to handle 
double, triple, quadruple primes, input as sequence or as direct 
characters. And i'm not even talking of primed nuclei followed by scripts.

$s^\prime$
