Thanks. As suggested for the "GNU system" variants I propose creating
Texinfo macros @theglibc{} ("the GNU C Library") and @Theglibc{} ("The GNU
C Library") and making all references use one of those macros (except
maybe where giving the name of the manual itself, since there I think
"The" logically binds to "Reference Manual" not "GNU C Library").
