Description

If I add a namespace directive to the .thrift file, and I specify the output folder, the thrift compiler creates a set of sub-folders matching the namespace which is not useful.

e.g. I have a project called 

MyCompany.MyFeature.Xyz

and I have a .thrift file with

namespace netstd MyCompany.MyFeature.Xyz.Thrift

and I use

thrift-0.16.0.exe --gen netstd --out .\thrift rpc.thrift

Then I get sub-folders

MyCompany.MyFeature.Xyz\Thrift\MyCompany\MyFeature\Xyz\Thrift\<files.cs>

What I expect is for the generated files to be placed in folder Thrift, e.g.

MyCompany.MyFeature.Xyz\Thrift\<files.cs>

to match the namespace.
