Why? The few things I learned so far about proof of programs lead me to
think that usually you discharge proofs about post-conditions based on
pre-conditions, and about pre-conditions being verified at call sites.

Can't that be made function by function and module by module?

Yes. As I was told, the hard thing is not to discharge proofs about
code, it's being able fo formally specify the expected semantic of the
code...

Curiously,
Pierre
