While this may currently work, I wouldn't recommend relying on
this - as this is rather a bug than a desired behaviour. This
will stop working as long as support for multiple variables will
be added to map.

Instead, I would recommend to use regexp-based parsing of the
$args variable as Francis suggests. This can be done trivially
with map, like this:

map $args $param_with_dash {
"~(^|&)param-name=(?<temp>[^&]+)" $temp;
}

The geo module only support static strings as values, so that's
expected behaviour.
