Using all variables in a module, except for one - is there an opposite of "only"?

I have a module with global variables, there are a lot of variables in it. For a specific subroutine I would like to use all variables in it except for 1.

One way I could do this is

use Global_Variables, only : item1,...item50,item52,...item100

but that is incredibly painful to write out 99 items to use, just so in this example I can skip item51.

I could also put this specific item in a seperate Global_Variables2 module, but that is unwieldy.

Is there an except clause that can be used similarly but oppositely of the only clause?

You can rename the variable to something that obviously should not be used

 use mod, disabled => item

There is no except in Fortran 2008. Also think if that variable really needs to be public.
