Hi, gophers

When reading Go code, one always needs to find the references of a function or a constant. Those references in the _test.go can be very noisy. I'll be great if there is a way to let gopls ignore those files.

I failed to find such a way or configuration in gopls. I've learned that gopls find go files with 'go list'. By now I can only hack into 'go/build/build.go' to add an environment to make 'go list' skip the Test or XTest. I wonder if there is a better way to do that?
