C-x b runs the command switch-to-buffer.
It usually is good guessing names via tab expansion, but today when I
typed
C-x b oc<TAB>
it couldn't find any buffer, so I had to do
C-x b Oc<TAB>
to be able to expand to the "*Occur*" buffer (that I created earlier
using M-x occur.)

You just need to set read-buffer-completion-ignore-case to non-nil.
There are also variables completion-ignore-case and
read-file-name-completion-ignore-case for other completion scenarios.

Thanks! One would hope the switch-to-buffer document string would
mention it...

It's mentioned in the doc string of read-buffer, which is used to read
and complete on buffer names. I've now added to the doc string of
switch-to-buffer a reference to read-buffer.
