Shorten fraction line

OK, I understand that this request may sound stupid, but my eyes are just bleeding when I see how $frac{x^-}{2}$ is rendered:
I'm wondering if there's a moderately simple way to make it look like this?
(Please do not suggest $frac{x^-}{2^{phantom{-}}}$ or $frac{{}^{phantom{-}}x^-}{2}$.)
UPDATE
Well, OK, I've realized that frac{x}{2}^{-} may work as a temporary solution, but now my eyes are bleeding when looking at the source code.

(Even though, it would be preferable to ensure that minus does not stay above the following symbols.)

I'll be happy to remove this but you could do
documentclass{article}
usepackage{mathtools}
begin{document}
[frac{x^{mathrlap{-}}}{2}hphantom{scriptstyle -}x]
end{document}
