Umm, CodeWright has an Ada lexer.  Not very sophisticated, but it
solves this problem.  When I put the function using "key'access" in a
junk.ada buffer, the "access" is highlighted as a keyword, and the
apostrophe (single-quote) is black.  

The biggest problem is that it doesn't differentiate well between
functions, simple variables, and arrays: An identifier followed by a
paren is highlighted as a function, otherwise it's black (default).
More sophisticated behavior would require a symbol table -- I think
CodeWright's language lexers are not much (if any) more sophisticated
than regular expressions.

If that's all too confusing, you can turn coloring off if you so
desire.  In any case, I don't think you need a whole new editor -- At
least, not if you start with the right one.
