Hmm, interesting.  It passed the annotations tests :(

Nope, not intended to do anything at all with prefix/suffix. AFAIK
prefix/suffix is only used in one particular case of annotations that
matter (basically the control characters that are printed in the
prefix/suffix when annotations > 1).

Anyway, thanks for taking care of this.  And thanks for getting rid of
the crufty prompt-stack too!
