Description

I was hoping `readTextData` and `showTextData` would form a nice bijection, so that I could easily derive the ability to send my custom types over the wire without too much thought, but for some reason `showTextData` converts everything to lower case, causing `readTextData` to fail.

What is the reasoning behind this? IMO the naming is a little misleading and error prone.
