Organize imports on save will add slog from "golang.org/x/exp/slog" instead of "log/slog"

Hi!

I have this annoying issue when organizing imports will always prefer slog from "golang.org/x/exp/slog" instead of standard library. The go version in go.mod states go 1.21.0 so I have a reason to believe that log/slog should have priority in this case. I have no idea if this is a bug or configurable behavior, at least I have not found anything related to specific preferences when it comes to package imports.

Any ideas or tips how to solve this?

You can handle this in two ways:

On VS Code, add this to your settings.json:

{
    "gopls": {
        "importShortcut": "Definition"
    }
}    

Alternatively, you can remove the experimental package by running go get -d golang.org/x/exp/slog@none followed by go mod tidy. This will clean up your dependencies and force the usage of the standard library version from log/slog. Make sure to update your imports from golang.org/x/exp/slog to log/slog in your code.
