I supposed it was the only test for "Census|Print case to PDF"; however...

Yes, this comment (later in that file) seems to explain it:

// Consider renaming this file to 'wx_test_spreadsheet_output.cpp'
// e.g., because its purpose is to test *spreadsheet* output only.

Grepping for "'i'" easily leads us to 'wx_test_pdf_create.cpp',
which tests "Census | Print case to PDF":

/// Test printing a census document to PDF.
...
LMI_WX_TEST_CASE(pdf_census)
...
    ui.Char('i', wxMOD_CONTROL | wxMOD_SHIFT);  // "Census | Print case to PDF"

so thanks, you're correct: validate_print_case_pdf_output() no
longer serves any purpose and should be removed altogether.

The latter ("remove this function entirely") is correct, and I should
be able to get that right.

Please let's do everything in this order:
 - Kim: cast your vote on the original question; presuming "No"...
 - Greg: nuke this whole 'idiosyncrasy_spreadsheet' thing
 - Vadim: review and test my changes, revised as discussed above
