Although I enjoy the principle of SPARK, I had to drop the idea to use i=
t  =

as something common, precisely due to the fact it is not easy to guess i=
f  =

something is simple enough for SPARK or not. I get it running for some  =

very long time too, except this was with simple things to me. Designing =

proof which =E2=80=9Cshould=E2=80=9D be OK is one thing, mastering SPARK=
 enough is real  =

life, another (note: my intent is not to reprimand SPARK at all, it's to=
o  =

much valuable, and there is no ready accessible alternatives).
