Probably in part because the word 'argument' is also used for
arguments passed to ConTeXt commands, and not just for arguments
passed to the context script on compilation. I've created a were you
looking for...? page at [[Command-line arguments]] --- that seems to
me the most obvious search term, so that page is now the first result
for that search. If there are any other synonyms you used when
searching that, you think, should point at [[Command-line arguments]]:
redirects are obvious improvements.

Then you have to be sure, that --number and --time will never be special
parameters for context.
Indeed.
Alternatives:
--MarcoPatzerNumber=8 --MarcoPatzerTime=full-time
Or:
% context --arguments=number=8,time=full-time test.tex
This seems the better alternative, since that's what the option was
made for.

Hi Ian,
I'd like to pass variables into context on invocation, just as you can do
with setting modes
So
context --arguments=number=8, time=full-time --mode=trial test.tex
context --number=8 --time=full-time test.tex
\starttext
Hello world
% This is \getvariables{arguments}{number} it. % this does not work - what do
I need here to write out the next line?
This is 8.
% This is \getvariables{arguments}{time} it. % Nor does this - what do I need
here to write out the next line?
This is full-time.
\stoptext
\starttext
This is \doifdocumentargument{number}{\getdocumentargument{number}} it.
This is \doifdocumentargument{time}{\getdocumentargument{time}} it.
\stoptext

Thanks to all. After about 30 mins exploring, it all came together.
I'll try to add something to the wikithe link below is fine if you know
it's there, and that this is what you want. But the search function
(arguments and variants thereof did not find it for me).
The best match for what I was sure would be there, is \env{}. I still have no
