jmc noted that I didn't include my actual line, so here it is.

First I was using only

        .Dd $Mdocdate$

but that warned me

        mandoc: ./files/varnishreload.1:2:2: WARNING: missing date, using 
today's date

so I did what I was told, according to mdoc(7)

        .Dd $Mdocdate: May 19, 2019 $

but it still warned me

        mandoc: ./files/varnishreload.1:2:2: WARNING: cannot parse date, using 
it verbatim: $Mdocdate: May 19, 2019 $

So I removed the comma and mandoc(1) was happy.

        .Dd $Mdocdate: May 19 2019 $


What should be used here?  Either I'm warned or I'm using undocumented
syntax, both seems wrong to me.
