Actually in the pagelist context, you do know whether "sometext" is a group or a
page name, because the pagelist templates include conditional statements that
structure the pagelist output by group, e.g.

   (:if equal {<$Group}:)               At beginning of list
   (:if equal {>$Group}:)               At end of list
   (:if ! equal {=$Group} {<$Group}:)   First item in group
   (:if ! equal {=$Group} {>$Group}:)   Last item in group

After those conditions, the pagelisttemplate tries to generate links using the
group page variable, e.g. [[{=$Group}]]
