Description

In R, divide by 0 results in Inf. That maps (for floats at least) to arrow's divide, not divide_checked, which errors.

See also discussion on ARROW-13801; we may need to do special nse_func handling for {{}} to get this right in dplyr for integers (or maybe we already are; in any case, add some tests).
