Of course it is; the point of the web site is to demonstrate how to
solve problems in various languages. The SPARK language includes user
rules; the problem is not solved without them.

I thought the question was whether to use user rules in a non-Ada file,
or Checks as SPARK annotations in an Ada file. Either way, they are an
important part of the solution.
