How to prevent envelope crossing through function.

How can you stop the envelope of a sinc function crossing the function. I would like it to just skim the maxima points as shown by the drawn envelope in Sinc_envelope.jpg attached.
x = linspace(-20,20,500);
y = abs(sin(x)./(x)).*abs(sin(x)./(x));
[up,lo]=envelope(y,1,'peak');
plot(x,y)
hold on
%plot(x,up)
plot(x,up)

That is due to a characteristics of interpolation method (Spline) used in the envelope function. How about detecting peaks and interpolate them by "Shape-preserving piecewise cubic" ? The following is an example.
x = linspace(-20,20,500);
y = abs(sin(x)./(x)).*abs(sin(x)./(x));
[pk,loc] = findpeaks(y,x);
y2 = interp1(loc,pk,x,'pchip');
plot(x,y)
hold on
plot(x,y2)
