I think it's quite rare for opener to have three spades in this sequence. He might have raised 1 to 2, and having not done so he would often now give jump preference over 2.
... 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

I much prefer the setup where 2H is non forcing and 2D is at least INV, but if you play 2H forcing then 3C is 100% GF.
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."

1C - 1S
2C - 2D! = artificial force, asks for 4 cards as a 1st priority ( Edit: ... just as in NMF ) .
