Getting Started Docs - snippet error

[simonlsk]

In the Creating metric instruments section the snippet includes the line:

meter := otel.Meter("ex.com/basic")

For which I get an unresolved reference. I believe the function Meter is in global and the correct line should be:

meter := global.Meter("ex.com/basic")

That waisted me about an hour trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.

Thank you!

I believe that this is reporting the same issue as open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go#2087? It has been fixed (open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go#2093), but the updated docs haven't been ported.

I'm going to mark this as a duplicate, but leave it open until the docs are updated in this repo.
