How do I cause "dnx ef dbcontext scaffold" not to emit an OnConfiguring() method?

I am doing database-first development in Entity Framework 7. When I generate my DbContext from the command line using 

dnx ef dbcontext scaffold [connection string] EntityFramework.MicrosoftSqlServer -o Models -c SomeContext

it is created with an OnConfiguring(options) method that hard-codes the connection string I used to create the model into the context. I don't want this, because I want to use this code in multiple environments with different connection strings and, according to the documentation, OnConfiguring has the highest precedence of all the ways of specifying configuration for a context.

Can I cause dbcontext scaffold not to output the OnConfiguring method?

You cannot currently customize the code scaffolded by EF Core. There is a workitem on EF to track this enhancement, which is currently in the backlog. See Issue #4038 on GitHub.

Unfortunately this means you need to manually edit the code EF generates.
