There's not a variable that contains it, but you can obtain the
group name of any page by using:

    $group = PageVar($pagename, '{$Group}');

Note that this doesn't work if $pagename is empty or not a true
pagename in the form "Group.Name".  

Starting with beta21, the ideal sequence will be something like:

    $pagename = InitPageName($pagename);
    $group = PageVar($pagename, '{$Group}');

which will first resolve $pagename to its "correct" value
(based on $DefaultPage, $DefaultGroup, UTF-8 settings, etc.)
and then obtain the group.
