Nonsense again - it is a predefined language attribute "for every type
or subtype", but only as a prefix for another attribute like
T'Base'First. See RM83 A(4).

Ada95 removed 'Base for any type other than scalar and made 'Base
usable by itself for scalar types.

anon has a very peculiar way to read the RMs, to say the least.
