You have KJ9x xxx Ax AQxx, white vs red, RHO open 1H, bidding goes:
(1H) X (4D) 4S

4D was explained as splinter or good 4H raise or some values, not sure.
4SX was explained as penalty

We have a great great hand but we have no idea if partner is bidding to make or not. I think I pass but wouldn't be surprised if slam is laydown.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

This is not close at all, we are white/red, partner could just have 7 spades and out or something. Easy Pass.

I would need a pretty exceptional hand to go looking for slam after the opponents open and respond showing some values. Pass for me.

Slam is absolutely possible, but not particularly likely. Bidding is at best desperate, at worst ridiculous.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Another question: If W already doubled 4 spades for penalty, should his pass of 5 spades be forcing? I honestly don't know, I am still sorting out some of these forcing pass situations.
