No, because he wanted the indices, not the actual values. However, I
suspect this isn't the whole story; it's unusual enough to deal with
array indices directly that I wonder what the final goal is here, and
whether there might be some better way of achieving it...
Anyway, another option would be
a2 := Array streamContents: [:s | a withIndexDo: [:ea :i | ea = 'free'
ifTrue: [s nextPut: i]]].
