PIX OS 6.2 (IIRC) introduced a feature for line editing: 

access list ostiguy line 15... should enter this line as line 15 in the acl.
no access list ostiguy line 12 should delete line 12 of the acl.

I can't think of an instance where this is a bad thing, as generally,
the pix is more forgiving than IOS, as all the show commands work in a
PIXen's configuration mode.
