'false', even if not specified on the command line. (tex.mode.__newindex
predefined to this purpose?)

indeed

- There is no table of arguments or variables being passed by
--arguments="ARG=arg" or by --variable="VAR=var" from the command line.

indeed (--arguments is an old mechanism and mkii compatible)

- All arguments passed to the command line are accessible by
document.arguments. Unfortunately, when repeating an arg, only the last
is accessible, e.g.

context.exe t.mkiv --arguments="ARG1=arg1" --arguments="ARG2=arg2"

indeed, so one can easily overload

will cause that only (string) "ARG2=arg2" will be in
document.arguments.arguments.

as mentioned by someone already, use "a=1,b=2,c=3"

- - That means also that not splitting to key-value pair is not
performed by default (document.arguments.arguments is still "ARG2=arg2",
no splitting to document.arguments.arguments.ARG2 to be "arg2" is not
done).

indeed, although they are split and assigned at the tex end

- Not only predefined options/switches, but all args passed by command
line are accessible by document.arguments. I.e. it's possible to call

context.exe t.mkiv --myvar=MYVAR

right, but make sure to use a prefix so that there is no confusion (myvarone myvartwo etc)

and later it's possible to get "MYVAR" from document.arguments.myvar.

Let's check the call:

context.exe t.mkiv --arguments=AAA=aaa --mode=MMM --arguments=BBB=bbb
--myvar=MYVAR
