OK, I understand that this request may sound stupid, but my eyes are just bleeding when I see how $frac{x^-}{2}$ is rendered:



enter image description here



I'm wondering if there's a moderately simple way to make it look like this?



enter image description here



(Please do not suggest $frac{x^-}{2^{phantom{-}}}$ or $frac{{}^{phantom{-}}x^-}{2}$.)
