Any way to generate components etc. without being under the /app dir?

Repro steps

• ng g component components/test --app=ui

Observed behavior

  create app/javascript/ui/app/components/test/test.component.html (23 bytes)
  create app/javascript/ui/app/components/test/test.component.spec.ts (614 bytes)
  create app/javascript/ui/app/components/test/test.component.ts (236 bytes)
  update app/javascript/ui/ui.module.ts (721 bytes)

Desired behavior

Would like to be able to have the files generated under app/javascript/ui/components/test/test.component.ts without the app portion of the path.

Mention any other details that might be useful

We have two main applications that both consume this UI 'module' for lack of a better term. The UI module itself isn't a standalone application so it doesn't make sense to have its components/services/etc namespaced under an app folder. I'd be happy to put in a PR for a flag in the .angular-cli.json to handle this if that would be the best way to solve this.

I think this is a duplicate of #9370.
