i can confirm. request.args always comes through, whether ajax or not.
request.vars is dependent upon ajax.
{{=LOAD('comment',
'conversation_dropdown.load',vars={'dashboard':True}, ajax=False)}}
: vars => {}
{{=LOAD('comment',
'conversation_dropdown.load',vars={'dashboard':True}, ajax=True)}}
: vars => {'dashboard': True}
{{=LOAD('comment', 'conversation_dropdown.load',args=[True],
ajax=False)}}
: args[0] => True
