IMPs still.

If you pass or double, LHO bids 2 clubs, RHO bids 3 clubs
If you bid 2 spades, LHO bids 3 clubs and RHO passes. (their agreement that this shows less than undisturbed 3c, not mine)
Otherwise the opponents stay silent.
Become yourself.

Double then 4♠. Partner should expect me to have a 3-loser...

4♠ and hit 5♣. Sometimes partner can find an inspired continuation.

Yep, I bid 4♠ too. The x at my next bid is to show pards that I have a real hand eg 3 or 4 loses and also I have some tolerance for defending.

I like heave pre-empts when partner can't open. 4S for me as well.

True, maybe you'll get the club lead out of turn and you can forbid it.

This is actually a good point, perhaps we should X and if partner bids clubs then we can bid 3N, they are unlikely to be able to both run clubs and do it in that case.

I am a little worried LHO will bid clubs and RHO will save correctly though, the plus sides of blasting are reasonably good (either we stampede LHO to bid incorrectly, or we make them miss a big club fit when LHO can't bid).

Xing makes a lot of sense if you're angling for 3N opposite a club bid from partner though.
