Change default namespace associated to a folder when creating new class

It would be nice if there is a feature to set a default namespace for each folder when creating a new class. For example, if we have the following file structure:

MyProject
     MyFolder
          MyClass1

Then if we create MyClass2 under MyFolder, the created class will be under the MyProject namespace instead of MyProject.MyFolder.

To paraphrase, the request is to be able to mark a folder with metadata to stop it from participating in namespace construction.

This is not flexible

<ItemGroup>
  <Folder Include="Models\" IsNamespaceProvider="False" />
</ItemGroup>

Should be

<ItemGroup>
  <Folder Include="Models\" Namespace="whatever I want or empty" />
</ItemGroup>
