Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

2♠
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?
So many experts, not enough X cards.

That's a kind way to put it. I can't see any other remotely reasonable alternative.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I'd like to investigate 4♠ (can be the winner on a 4-3 fit) but can't see how to do it, a cue would make us too high ofteb.

How about 3♦, assuming that you play that as showing reversing values? If that elicits 3♠ or 4♣ you're probably about to reach the right game rather than the wrong one; if he bids 3♥ you can bid 3NT and have lost nothing; if he bids 4♦ he probably has five of them.
... 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

On some days partner has ♥10xx and on other days they underlead th ♥KQ vs 3NT. Do they still call Xmas for such days? :P

It may not seem rationale to expect by partner to bid 3N. I think nice extra values with given hand. I admit a difficult choice. Sometimes everything is a gamble.
