How about using the dwarf-2 terminology: basis_type? That's how they
call the type on which the range type is based:
The subrange entry may have a DW_AT_type attribute to describe
the type of object, called the basis type, of whose values this
subrange is a subset.
(base type is the equivalent in Ada terminology)
