I think `filter` and a closure is perfectly idiomatic. If you want the indices, you can use `findall`.

The `find*` family of functions underwent an API redesign, you are [doing the right thing when using `v0.7` for upgrading your code](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/psa-use-julia-0-7-if-you-are-upgrading/13321), after which you can switch to `v1.0`.
