FYI: 'ionic start [sidemenu, tabs, blank, maps]' shouldn't have iOS

If you do the normal
$ ionic start myProj [blank sidemen tabs]

the project you end up has a
myProj/platforms/ios

The problem is that platform mistakenly names project folders and files
HelloCordova
rather than
myProj

Every time I run, to get past this I run
$ ionic start MyProjectName …
$ cd MyProjectName
$ ionic platform rm ios

and then add iOS later.
$ ionic platform add ios

I’ve done diff’s on the results and this seems the better way to work.
Better still if whoever understands the internals of the ionic start’ command changes it so that ‘ionic platform add ios’ is a later step for the user to take, not one that is done for you.
