Unfinished test case in pandas/io/tests/test_parsers

[jtratner]

Any ideas on what this was supposed to be? (from 50ae526)

    def test_multiple_skts_example(self):
        data = "year, month, a, b\n 2001, 01, 0.0, 10.\n 2001, 02, 1.1, 11."
        pass

Came in a commit with release notes that said:

Based on the doc, I think it might have been this:

>>> read_csv(StringIO(data), parse_dates={'date': [0, 1]})
        date    a     b
0 2001-01-01  0.0  10.0
1 2001-02-01  1.1  11.0

However, we have many tests for that now in parse_dates.py test. @wesm, do you remember what the point of this test was since you were the one who added it?

If not, we can simply remove it and close this issue.
