An invitational 3H seems best.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

4♥. I expect this is going to lead to 4♠-pass-pass; if so I'll bid again. Perhaps I shouldn't plan for an auction that involves guessing at the five level, but I can't think of anything better.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

5♦. This is a double fit auction and opps certainly won't let you play 4♥. Thus preempt is right and you should bid the maximum, so as to shut LHO's spades.

Im a bit afraid partner got a 15+ balanced.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

4♥. LHO hasn't bid 4S yet, perhaps partner has a 4441 15-count.

So why don't you bid 3NT? It can hardly be to make, so it must be suggesting a sacrifice if opps bid 4♠...

Why can 3NT not be to make?

3♠

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

3♥ is enough I think. Unless you play Sandwich NT (tre gauche), pard isn't promising great heart support here.
