Option to recurse into namespace packages

[Jackenmen]

Unless current behaviour is unintended, this is more of a feature request.

I would like to have option for mypy to recurse into namespace packages - currently if I have somepackage with ext namespace package, mypy will not recurse into packages in that namespace package. Here's an example tree:

.
└── somepackage
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── module_a.py
    └── ext
        └── someextension
            ├── __init__.py
            └── module_b.py

For such tree, running mypy --strict --namespace-packages -p somepackage will only check files that are inside somepackage. Adding empty __init__.pyi to ext folder will solve this problem but it's really just a workaround for this problem.

I checked this tree with mypy from master (Python 3.7.4) to make sure this wasn't solved in the meantime.

Just double-check is this a duplicate of #6385 or you want something different?

Yes, looks like it, my bad, I rushed with sending this issue a little and only looked through most recent issues regarding namespace packages.
