5 card majors, strong NT.

1♦ (P) 1♠ (2♣)
2NT

How strong would you expect the 2NT to be?
0

18-19, club stopper. There's an implication that the hand has fewer than three spades, if you're playing support doubles - how strong an implication depends on how much a "anything else denies 3 card support" zealot the partnership is.

Weak NTs pass (or double, if support doubles, or raise spades with support).
