Somewhat, but they're really more like the get_var variables
from Cookbook.HttpVariables .

The idea is that if a page is accessed with a url like

    http://www.example.com/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage?xyz=abc

then the markup {$?xyz} would return "abc".

They're straight out of the url, thus largely independent of Group.PageName
and #section.
