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.setText('Hello')

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