Ah, I'd missed the very last sentence of that node.

I don't think I should have to read minibuffer.el to discover that. I
can get the information from the user manual, but the docstring of
switch-to-buffer doesn't help me get there. It says:
See `read-buffer' for features related to input and completion
of buffer names.
read-buffer's docstring then leads to completing-read, which in turn
points at the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.[1]
In short: there's a missing link, and I'm not sure where to put it.

Footnotes:
[1] Info-goto-node only works if you're in an *info* file. Should it
be taught to work from *Help* buffers as well? Or perhaps
"(filename)Node name" strings should be clickable?
