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 ) .
