+ * A helper function for dealing with NPN in client side.

+ * The format of |in| is length-prefixed and not null-terminated.
+ * For example, "spdy/2" are "http/1.1" stored in |in| like this:
+ *
+ *  in[0] = 6
+ *  in[1..6] = "spdy/2"
+ *  in[7] = 8
+ *  in[8..15] = "http/1.1"
+ *  inlen = 16
+ *
+ * The selection algorithm is as follows:
+ *
+ * 1. If server's list contains "spdy/2", this function selects
+ *    "spdy/2" and returns 1. The following steps are not taken.
+ *
+ * 2. If server's list contains "http/1.1", this function selects
+ *    "http/1.1" and returns 0. The following step is not taken.
+ *
+ * 3. This function selects "spdy/2" and returns -1. (So called
+ *    non-overlap case).
+ *
+ * When spdylay supports updated version of SPDY in the future, this
+ * function may select updated protocol and application code which
+ * relies on spdylay for SPDY stuff needs not be modified.
+ *
+ * For rationale of step 3, NPN draft permits that client can select
