Yes it does include this since the '*' can be anything, including
nothing.

No that does not include http://foo.org/ since there is a '.' in the
URL-SPECIFICATION that is not in the URL.

No you cannot have a single line.  Probably best is the two line
version like:

DontGet
{
!http://efoo.org/*
 http://*foo.org/*
}

(You need '<' and '>' around the URL-SPEC in some other sections of
the config file, but the '!' goes outside).
