So I found the problem which was: the `text*` getter was incomplete.
All node kinds (other than `xnElement`) have an `fText` property. That's why

TBH I would rather spend a week trying to figure out how to fix `xmltree` and
submit a PR than code a

import xmltree
var e = newElement("child1")
e.add newText(" jibber")
var f = newElement("child2")
f.add newText(" jabber")
var x = newXmlTree("root
Hi, Mr Nim Newbie here,
when I run the following code fragment
import xmltree
var e = newElement("elem")
e.add newText("some text")
echo typeof e
echo typeof e.text
echo e
echo e.text
Run
It crashes and I get the resulting output
