Well, my suggestion implied to rename the function as well, not
only the module :-)

I find it good to also rename getdate.texi to get_date.texi.
Otherwise we continue to have two files doc/getdate.texi
and doc/posix-functions/getdate.texi, which is still confusing.
Yes, packages that include this documentation in their manual
need a one-liner change in their main .texi file. The NEWS file
says it:
2010-09-30 Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org>
More renaming from 'getdate' to 'get_date'.
* doc/get_date.texi: Renamed from doc/getdate.texi.
* modules/get_date (Files): Update.
* MODULES.html.sh (Date and time <time.h>): Update.
* DEPENDENCIES: Update.
* gnulib-tool: Update comment.
* m4/bison.m4 (gl_BISON): Likewise.
* m4/get_date.m4 (gl_GET_DATE): Likewise.
