Any Heeman like structure over 2N?

I finally got around to reading Heeman and was really impressed by it. Is there similar structure over a 2N opening (20 - 21)?

I suppose extended Puppet Stayman is a candidate, but I really like the fact that Heeman doesn't expose too much information about the opener's hand.

I have tried to make one, but it didn't work. I know someone who is still trying, but he says he can't find a good way to bid 5-5 hands properly...

I think in HEEMAN the most difficult part is to find 5-3 Major fits when opener has a 5 card M. After 1NT there are very few opportunities, so after 2NT I think it's impossible unless you use 3♣ not as a puppet but for an asking bid for 5 card Majors (otherwise bid 3♦, continue like heeman). This however screws up the rest of the bidding for responder... :)
