Be able to view all entries not in a filter on-the-fly, without needing to set up a separate filter

Title:
Be able to view all entries not in a filter on-the-fly, without needing to set up a separate filter

Area:
filters

Summary:
If I have a "Default" filter, it would be nice to have a !Default or _Default, filter, which shows me entries that I filtered out of my Default view. This would make it easier to filter to only entries I haven't read yet.

Description:
Ideally, it would respect which journals are on the filter, and only reverse on the tags/security settings/explicitness/etc.

For example, if I subscribe to three users:

userEverything, userOnlySFW, userNotOnFilter

I read my readpage from a public place. "/read/Filter", would show me all of userEverything's entries, only SFW entries by userOnlySFW, and no entries by userNotOnFilter.

"/read/!Filter" would show me none of userEverything's entries, only NSFW entries by userOnlySFW, and still no entries by userNotOnFilter.

I'm not particularly tied to the format; I'd just rather not have to set up two filters, and have to remember to update them both if something changes. More fine-grained control would still be possible for individual options; this is more an easy way to catch entries I'd skipped before, without having to wade through entries I've already read.
