I think using toStringz is more self-documenting.

There is nothing more self-documenting than actually appending the zero.
Claiming toStringz is better in that regard is like saying a+1 is less
self-documenting than doAddo(a) ;)
There might be other benefits of using toStringz though, (for example,
it won't add the zero if it is already there, but that does not apply
here).
x ~ y *always* makes a copy of x, whereas toStringz(x) will (should?) use
append (which could potentially save another heap allocation). However,
I'm not sure what kind of state the result of readText is in.
