Next.js: Custom directory for "pages"

[Vadorequest]

• [x] I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.

I'd like to use a custom sub directory to store my "pages". I looked in the next.config.js but couldn't find any way of customizing it. Also, I found https://github.com/zeit/next.js/blob/07af67bfea3eb366c3b3457db9534d532d2e902b/server/build/webpack/utils.js#L4 which makes me thing it's not possible yet.

Is this something you intend to support?

It's not possible. And it's been discussed in other issues.

We're currently not planning to change it to be configurable.

We really should consider re-opening this.

Adding a variable to allow.

public/pages/
admin/pages/

So that we can have 2 directories of pages.

How is this not a thing?

Im surprised this is an issue, will probably have to spend hours now figuring a workaround
