For the 1st question, I'm going to use gnasher's "toy" ( 2S!) * when there is a 1H response to 1-minor and Opener is strong enough for a GF rebid -- together with my scheme for the followup.

♠ 4

♥ A95

♦ KQJ975

♣ AK6

 

1D - 1H

2S! - 2NT! ( asks for clarification )

??

   3C! = 4s, no 3h, 5+d

   3D! = long Diam, no 4s, no 3h

   3H! = 3h and 5+d, but no 4s

   3S! = 4s and 3h, 5+d, ergo Cl shortness

 

After 3H!, Responder may just bid 4H with 5 cards and a minimum

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Edit ( addition ):

This way when you really have Cl as a 2nd suit, GF, then use: :

1D - 1H

3C = natural, GF; no 3h

With a human partner I understood well I'd try 3C and hope we had a sensible auction.

 

If nobody is looking, I might try 3S splinter, since that's what partner needs to know to evaluate his hand for slam purposes; I am happy to take ruffs in the Axx hand; and no way am I ever letting this hand die at the partscore level. No law against 4-3 major suit fits at matchpoints. (4D would tell the same lie about the quality of my hearts, and would show this diamond suit, but I think the single spade vs. AKx club message is important.)

 

Without the DQ I'd be forced into an overly heavy 3D rebid, and I'd expect something bad to happen.

Lovely to see GIB is using that toy as well, especially in a natural systems forum...
