It's possible that the replacement for a built-in attribute is a Group.
That would cause a nil pointer exception because the handleState.prefix
field isn't set until later, in appendNonBuiltIns.
So create the prefix field earlier, at the start of commonHandler.handle.
Once we do this, we can simplify the code by creating and freeing the
prefix in newHandleState.
Along the way I discovered a line that wasn't being tested:
state.prefix.WriteString(h.groupPrefix)
so I modified an existing test case to cover it.
