A lot of times if you open 1♦ and rebid 2♣ freely in comp, GIB reports it as 4+ ♣, 4+ ♦. I think there are lots of spots where free club bids should promise a fifth diamond.
E.g.:
1♦-(p)-1♥-(1♠);
dbl-(3♠)-p-(p);
4♣
is reported as 4+c, 4+d, 3h, 21-HCP, 3- card D (??) - 19-21 points.
I was 0-3-5-5, which is what I think 4♣ ought to show (maybe 0-3-6-4 is ok?),
GIB with 3433 pulled to 4♥ instead of the much better 4♦, was bailed out by opposing GIBs who competed to 4♠.

OR if you play Western Cuebid like most people, cue with 3♠.

That's not a legal bid after opponents bid 3S. Not even Western legal.

I meant instead of DBL, BEFORE the 3♠ bid, duh.

Chase, if you are suggesting a 3♠ jump cue over 1♠, that's not good because most good players would interpret that as a splinter raise of hearts, not a stopper ask. Most people would bid 2♠ as the stopper ask. But that's problematic also, if you are playing support doubles that denies 3 ♥ usually, partner with 5 cd hearts and a single spade stopper may put you in 3nt.
One normally makes the support double, then cue bids 2♠ over 2x with that sort of hand.

GIB plays Support Doubles so 2S might (I don't know this for sure in GIB's system) deny 3-card support if you failed to use it; not sure how much it would disrupt the auction to mislead GIB in that respect. And 3S of course would be splinter.
