Yeah, I think we went back and forth on the node name for awhile
before settling on SubscriptingRef.  These comments evidently escaped
being updated.

I'm fairly certain that the SubscriptingRef node type was meant,
but I tend to agree that refocusing those comments on the method
functions would be an improvement.  However, the way you've written it
here seems incorrect.  What the comment is trying to say is that the
entire operation represented by the SubscriptingRef node is strict or
leakproof if those flags are set.  Thus for example, fetch_leakproof
asserts that both sbs_fetch and sbs_check_subscripts (if used) are
leakproof.  store_leakproof implicates sbs_check_subscripts,
sbs_assign, and sbs_fetch_old.

See above.
