That is really an Ada 83 comment (SPARK is still somewhat Ada 83 oriented!)
In Ada 95, it is a requirement of the language that & on string literals
(actually more accurately on static string expressions -- a useful
extension not permitted as far as I remember by SPARK) are required to
be handled statically.
