' isn't special in Haskell, it's idiomatic: you often see things like

foo' = bar foo

, as mathematicians and haskellers are to lazy to think of a new name
for foo just because they got a derived foo.

I, too, have no idea what *''Int* means. It's part of the "just use the
*&%*$^!#!$%!^ operator" problem.
