Heh, I should have said I thought I held x56x
If you can disregard my appalling 1♦ bid for a moment, I would like to look at why 4♣ shouldn't be a splinter.
Partners club likely isn't a suit, 4♣ describes the hand and I don't see a better use for it.

Natural Forcing raise for clube, RKCB for clubs?
2C is weak, 3C is inv., how do you set clubs as trumps?
A splinter in partners primary suit is never a good first option.

You can always go via FSF, but FSF auction are hard, and depening on
the concrete sequence not always crystal clear.
More concrete - When you bid 4C, bypassing 3NT, after partner denied a full
spade stopper, is this to play or does it show a hand with SI?
Sequence
1C - 1D
1H - 2S (*)
3S (*) - 4C (?!)
2S - FSF, the problem is less urgent, if you play 1S as FSF, in a Walsh context quite
reasonable
3S - denies a full spade stopper, ask the question to you
With kind regards
