Please, tell more : you mean a kind of pragma or compiler option like the
ones there is for runtime checks ?
By the way, that's an opportunity for two other ideas : why not integrate
the SPARK language definition in the Ada standard ? We may have wordings
in the Ada reference or the annotated reference, stating that is and that
is allowed or disallowed with SPARK. And second thing, related to this
latter : why not an ACAT tests suit targeting SPARK/Ada compilation
capabilities beside of full Ada ? Actually, how can you test an compiler
compliance with SPARK ? I feel you can do it only for full Ada.

Like ensuring it is written in a valid SPARK syntax before we know if this
part will really be semantically checked or not ?

Re-no, re-was re-valuable

There is even better than a pragma Assert: a SPARK --# check.
