Honestly, I don't see that much of an issue with `.text`, but I 
suppose I get that it would be an issue for new users. 
Personally, I would just do the template version of what you 
discussed and rejected, but if that's not for you, that's fine 
too.

One thing I considered was if you just are able to assign to a 
string if you don't use any formatting, but I think that leads to 
confusion as well. Either you go all the way or you don't.
