yes, please do!
I see no reason to rename the header; "getdate.h" does not conflict with
any standard header, and we already have other cases of headers whose
names do not match any of their contents (think "c-ctype.h", where - is
impossible in a C name). Renaming the header causes needless instant
churn in gnulib clients, while renaming _just_ the module can be done by
obsoleting (but keeping) the getdate module name for a transition period.
