Create models in directory other than App\Models

[shaedrich]

Hey folks,

when I run php artisan make:model Model but want the model to be in a different folder, I have the following scenarios:

Scenario	Command
Sub folder	php artisan make:model Subfolder/Model
Parent folder	php artisan make:model /App/OtherModels/Model

They both create the controller in the default controller directory instead of using a similar path to the model. That's what I would expect. Creating a model at App\Models\Subfolder\Models and a controller App\Http\Controllers\Subfolder would make more sense to me.

Hint: I observed that model and controller generation handles paths differently. While models resolve the path like above (not perfect but described workaround works), controllers strip all slashes. Why does this behavior differ?

Bonus: It would be more intuitive to specify the path with slashes instead of backslashes because that would look more like the namespace the model will have.
