It is not necessary to close all the Terminal windows.  Closing the Terminal
*app* is enough.  When you re-open the Terminal app, all the windows re-appear
(with previous work greyed out) and $rats has value "mice" in all windows.

Similarly, it all works for the command:
    launchctl unsetenv rats
after closing and re-opening the terminal app.  Nice find, René!
