One of those things you probably only notice if you are doing

Chapter 8's TCL installs this manpage
/usr/share/man/man3/Thread.3
and then Perl will also want to install its own version of that file.
The content is different.
I renamed the TCL one, on the assumption that I am more
likely to want to read the Perl one!
Indeed. I'll add a command to rename that page to Tcl_Thread.3

Just came across a "do you want a Tcl manpage or a system one" at
work and, in recalling this thread, noticed that the Tcl manpage was
the one in "n", whilst the system one, in this case, was in 8.
I thought to check what that system made of a "man Thread" and was
offered
* Thread (3pm)
thread (n)
Man: What manual page do you want?
Might there be a case for installing all Tcl manpages into the mann
directory?
I think we should keep things as close as possible to what upstream has.
Users can always find a particular man page with the apropos command.
