Tweaking Cencio's hand slightly ...
1. If you open 2♣, what do you rebid over 2♦? Interestingly, the Sharples brothers (the best bidding partnership that the world has known) had no qualms about opening 2♣ and rebidding a 4-card suit.
2. Surely you can't risk a 1♣ opener-- and even if you weren't left playing 1♣, would that really help?

It was reasonably common in their day to rebid a 4 card major, I would bid it as a balanced hand which has its own risks.
