This PR fixes false positives for Style/FloatDivision when using Regexp.last_match or nth reference (e.g., $1).

For Regexp.last_match(1) and $1, it assumes that the value is a string matched by a regular expression, and allows conversion with #to_f.

This cop is already marked as unsafe, but these issues can be avoided.

Fixes #14628.

Thanks, I didn't think about this

This PR fixes false positives for `Style/FloatDivision`
when using `Regexp.last_match` or nth reference (e.g., `$1`).

For `Regexp.last_match(1)` and `$1`, it assumes that the value is a string
matched by a regular expression, and allows conversion with `#to_f`.

This cop is already marked as unsafe, but these issues can be avoided.

Fixes rubocop#14628.

Don't discourage to_f if objects could be strings
