Yeah, that is a source of confusion when using those tools:
1) Commands like `how-many' or `flush-lines' by default apply to the lines
    after point; they accept optional arguments to cover a region as well.
2) OTOH `occur' by default uses the entire buffer; it doesn't accept
    arguments to select a region.

It's a nice thing if all related tools follow similar defaults. 
Command `occur' is also used in `multi-occur', to search in multiple 
buffers: in that case you must search in the entire buffers.
