[R] prime in expression in plot

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Two possibilities are ' (which is the usual way to write \prime in TeX) 
and minute (which is the nearest character in the Adobe symbol font that 
plotmath uses).  TeX has its own symbol fonts, and most R devices are 
based rather on the Adobe one.
