Consider also requiring that you're balanced (or at least semibalanced?) to bid this: ending up in notrump with a void can be awkward. Also consider requiring that you have at most 4 cards in the opponent's suit. That's not important when the opponents make a two-suited bid, but I had an example where RHO overcalled a single-suited spade, and we were 5404. Stayman would probably be the right choice if RHO was two-suited (surely LHO will run to the second suit, which will be in our void), but RHO was single-suited, and I think a double is the right call.

Mention how this bid is forcing, so we have the ability to investigate slam if we've got extra strength. Same comment below.
...but not yet bids or situations for opener's responses. This is big enough for a PR already.
