Caveats

As of ROOT 6.22, you should not need the thisroot scripts; but if you
depend on the custom variables set by them, you can still run them:

For bash users:
  . $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/bin/thisroot.sh
For zsh users:
  pushd $HOMEBREW_PREFIX >/dev/null; . bin/thisroot.sh; popd >/dev/null
For csh/tcsh users:
  source $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/bin/thisroot.csh
For fish users:
  . $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/bin/thisroot.fish
