It's not the syntax of the cmd-line that looks strange, it's the syntax how
to get the value of the variable:
\ctxlua{tex.print(document.arguments["arguments=myVar"])}
I'm quite sure, that this is not Hans' intention.
As I've written yesterday, I suppose, that the following syntax is wanted:
\getvariable{environment}{myVar} but this does not work...
Cheers, Peter
