4♥ for me. I know I should not be hanging partner, but I have a 7-loser hand and don't want to miss game to stop on a dime at 3♠, especially white (I might be able to afford -2). 4♥ should contextually mean four spades and a longer minor, I think.

In the context of the auction I have about an average holding. Distribution may not be friendly and lefty could have a decent hand!
Game figures to have a shot, but a bit of caution seems best. If I had another ♠ I would feel a whole lot better.
4♠ = 9
3♠ = 6
4♥ = 3
5♣ = 2

When pard doubles they MAY be on the short end of the high cards IF they are short in ♥. Since I don't think they are I'm bidding to game.
I like the 4♥ cue in case they have only 3 spades but they always(?) have a real hand or rho would have raised.

Partner can have 2 hearts and an ok hand (with intermediate hand and 3 hearts, may be LHO hoped to buy it at 3♥ for whatever reason) or partner may have 3+ hearts and a very good hand. In both cases I think my hand is prime, and slam is not out of picture, so 4♥ for me. I totally agree with kenrexford that in context it should mean good hand with 4♠ and longer minor, but if it is not discussed I cant expect partner to get it at the table, and 4+ level is a bad spot for bidding misunderstandings - so if you are afraid that partner would expect a stronger hand, 4♠. 3♠ is really not a good bid imo.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

I'm gonna mastermind this hand on grounds that pard and LHO are aching to bid more. The reason is as follows:
Either pard has a monster, in which case he might not have 4 spades, or RHO is going to bid 4H now. In both scenarios 3S works fine.
- If LHO passes and pard bids 3NT, we're fine.
- If LHO bids 4H and pard bids 4S, we'll have an excellent dummy. If pard passes 4H, we can now try 5C. If he doubles, even better.
