The internal representation of the ACL is optimized by the bigger routers,
but will the user see something via 'show run' other than what he correctly
typed as his ACL?

On the bigger routers, the internal representation of ACLs is quite
different from the list you present to the router.  Some translation
process is involved, and at least some optimization is usually part of
it.
