/**
The |built_in| function {\.{text.prefix\$}} pops the top two literals
(the integer literal |pop_lit1| and a string literal, in that order).
It pushes the substring of the (at most) |pop_lit1| consecutive text
characters starting from the beginning of the string.  This function
is similar to {\.{substring\$}}, but this one considers an accented
character (or more precisely, a ``special character''$\!$, even if
it's missing its matching |right_brace|) to be a single text character
(rather than however many |ASCII_code| characters it actually
comprises), and this function doesn't consider braces to be text
characters; furthermore, this function appends any needed matching
|right_brace|s.  If any of the types is incorrect, it complains and
pushes the null string.
