Issue Description

I am not sure if this is a bug or if it is by design.

Is it possible to have multiple .feature files for the same feature? Example:

File "Features\FeatureA\ScenarioA.feature":

Feature: FeatureA

Scenario: FeatureA - ScenrarioA
    Given something

File "Features\FeatureA\ScenarioB.feature"

Feature: FeatureA

Scenario: FeatureA - ScenrarioB
    Given something

When I try this I get compilation errors, because for both .feature files the same class "FeatureAFeature" is generated.

Why do I even want to split one feature across multiple .feature files? Sometimes the scenarios of a feature are each pretty long / have a lot of steps. Therefore it would be nice if I could split the scenarios across multiple .feature files. Otherwise, when someone wants to navigate to a specific scenario they have to scroll a lot in one large .feature file.

Steps to Reproduce

Add the following files to a SpecFlow test project and build the project.

File "Features\FeatureA\ScenarioA.feature":

Feature: FeatureA

Scenario: FeatureA - ScenrarioA
    Given something

File "Features\FeatureA\ScenarioB.feature"

Feature: FeatureA

Scenario: FeatureA - ScenrarioB
    Given something

Yeah, you can't have multiple feature files with the same feature title in the same folder. You need to change the feature title in the files.
