Long, long ago back when I was using DR-DOS there was a nice command that looked
something like this:
not *.pdf del *
And everything except *.pdf went into the bit-bucket. Basically it worked by
setting the "h" attribute on the *.pdf file(s), run the command, and then
removing the "h" attribute.

Is there a bash utility like this?

Hmmm...seems like I led you astray. It's not just rm I was interested in.

What I meant was something like this:
not somecondition somecommandwithparameters

not vacation*.gif tar -cf ../vacationjpgs.tar *
or
not *.mp3 cp -v * /someplaceelse
etcetera
