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.

"(filename)Node name" strings should be clickable?
