I've set `/bin/zsh` (default Mac zsh) as my default login shell but have set iTerm2 to use `/usr/local/bin/zsh`(homebrew). In iTerm2 when I `echo $SHELL` I get `/bin/bash`. I would have expected `/usr/local/bin/zsh` or `/bin/zsh`, but `/bin/bash` makes no sense. I've worked around this by adding `export SHELL=/usr/local/bin/zsh` to .zshenv, but this feels kind of wrong. What am I doing wrong that's preventing `$SHELL` from being accurate?
