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

At which point _all_ clients would instantly be exposed to the rename in C code, and we might as well drop even having the obsolete getdate wrapper module; whereas by keeping getdate.h and get_date(), clients only have to update their gnulib-tool list and maybe a one-liner include change in their texinfo documentation.

I guess it's up to Jim whether the more radical rename makes sense.

        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.

Thanks for that additional cleanup.
