not all maps are alike

I am used to using route maps for a lot of things so I am very used to a route-map fred permit 10 what to do syntax. BUT when you do an access-map for a VACL there is no permit or deny in the access-map statement SO you have to always put in an acl reference. That being said, I am of the mind to not be cute and just use a single extended ACL in 1 access-map statement so you are not trapped in the route map logic and say close to the traditional security acl syntax
