If we want to show that each feature can be independently enabled, then
setting the parameter exarr (arrparam) etc. in bin_example() is better
avoided.

But we still need to make sure that the parameters are allocated only
if they are enabled. We can do this, for example, as in the patch below,
but is this a "good example"?
