(1N - any meaning)
	... assume op has strong NT and respond as to 1N opening
		... can pretend NT, or break nat with C or good NT, or cue with strong 2

(1H [1S similar])
actions show good 5+ HCP
	... P weak usu.
		... P 15-18 NT 3+H
		... X take-out
		... 1N 19-21
		... suit nat with clubs and distr
		... cue very strong force

Fourth-Seat -
Op rebids:

		UNLESS 1C-(1y)-bid-(2/3y), then supp. double (even if neg X or 5-crd freebid)
	... raise 4-crd or unbal 3-crd
	... clubs nat extra dist but maybe not extra strength
	... 1N non-min NT
	... 2N 18-21
