Returns the base fee of the block this plug executes in, in wei. Unlike the gas price, the base fee is set by the protocol and cannot be moved by the submitter. Reach for it to gate execution on a maximum fee with a predicate, so a scheduled plug waits for a cheap block, or to compute a gas cost against a strategy's expected profit.
Takes nothing — it reads the caller's own position.
