I just meant that you can think of the "index" byte as selecting a
particular "Noise Pipe" protocol, and the "message type" byte as being
part of the Noise Pipe.

You could imagine using the version-negotiation to negotiate a mix of
Noise and non-Noise protocols, i.e. your initial message could contain
a mix of Noise, QUIC, and TLS messages, and then based on the "index"
chosen by the server, the second message's contents might be totally
different.

Maybe that generality isn't worth dwelling on, I was just pointing it out.
