Both Vulnerable, what does 4NT mean in the following auction:
3♠ - (4♥) - 4NT?

Ace ask.

I think it would be extremely rare for you to hold a hand where you might want to play
in a suit other than ♠ (while not being able to just bid it!) or in 4NT.

I like the simple 4NT rule over 4 level bids .. over a minor then 4NT is blackwood and if a major then 2 places to play. In this case the 2 places can only be the minors.

If you wanted to make an exception for this situation .. I guess you could as showing 2 suits after partner has shown 7 cards is weird. But i dunno .. partner with a good 6/5 or 6/6 might still want to know.

You still have a slam try available for spades .. 5H .. not perfect but over preempts you can't have everything.
If no one comes from the future to stop you from doing it then how bad a decision could it really be?

Cannot think of anything else than Ace Ask. But can be a bluff !

RKC.

It would be a general slam try if partner opened 3♥ and RHO bid 4♠.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

Asking partner to choose a minor after he's preempted? Really?

Meta rule: if there's a 6+ card suit bid, 4NT is RKC for that suit.
