That's not a data column but rather the row label column
that's treated differently by the grid class. We do want it
to be the label column rather than a data column abused as
row labels because we want to be able to scroll to the right
yet have the row label stay in sight.

I did enlarge it by 1/3, however. In time we shall add
tooltips to the row labels such that those will reveal
appropriate and possibly-obscured details.

Because there is none.

Yes, the code even says so:

                #self.SetRowLabelSize(wx.GRID_AUTOSIZE)         # starting with 
2.8.8

I expect that to apply to columns / column labels as well.

The row label is:

        self.SetRowLabelSize(150)

but the columns as such are not. The grid is set to
auto-size (with measurements, not so with substances, so
that might make a difference).

Will try NOT making the tests grid auto size and see what happens.
