[Tcsh] glob-pattern that matches everything except a particular set of files

Hello, list,
(At least) in bash, one can delete all files in a directory except for a particular file or set of files by using extended pattern matching operators, like so:
shopt -s extglob
rm !("exclude_me")
I tried doing the same thing with tcsh, but I'm unsure how. My first instinct was to use glob-patterns, like so:
rm ^{sample1,sample2}
But as the man page states, this is not negated correctly. How would one go about achieving this task?
Regards,
