Unable to generate "View All" pages on flat patterns

[ThePeach]

I am using Pattern Lab Node v2.9.2 on Mac, with Node v7.9.0, using the Gulp Edition.
I have a category directory with a flat list of mustache files in it, i.e. without sub-category folders.

Expected Behavior

I'm expecting the "View All" page to be generated for that directory

Actual Behavior

No "View All" page is being generated

Analysis

Apparently (after chatting with @bmuenzenmeyer) this is by design.

It would be indeed nice if it was possible to control the generation of "View All" pages programatically and granularly on a per-directory way, e.g. with something as simple as a dot-file in the directory to enable its generation, and/or with a global "default" option that won't break backward compatibility.
