Notes

The main purpose of this method is to save your some typing, as the two following calls yield the same result:

path.attr('data-text', 'Hello')
path.addText('Hello')

The difference with Path.setText() is that this method will add to the existing text whereas Path.setText() will overwrite existing text on the path,
