Description
Hi, I'd like to contribute to this track on exercism, and I'd also like to suggest a name change from gnuCOBOL to just COBOL.
Reason for the name change is that gnuCOBOL is not a language, it's a compiler that can understand various dialects of COBOL. It would be like having separate tracks for GCC and Clang for the C language or separate tracks for each browser for Javascript.
I have some experience with COBOL and have access to the latest 202x draft standard.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the track repository and the Exercism naming context to determine whether the proposed gnuCOBOL-to-COBOL rename is in scope. Done requires a maintainer decision on the name and an agreed scope for any resulting track changes; the issue mentions no files or tests to run.
