[jQuery] Read request parameters with jQuery?

[Hermanussen]

I'd like to know if it is possible to get the request parameters on a
page using jQuery. It can be done using regular JavaScript (like so:
http://blog.pothoven.net/2006/07/get-request-parameters-through.html),
but this seems like something that jQuery or a plugin for jQuery could
easily do. And that would look much cleaner.
