forcing, and 3\H, which may be set, will be played.  With the standard defense
to Raptor, West's 2\H is non-forcing - just right with the bad \CQ.}

It seems better to use a takeout double instead of Raptor 1NT, when
appropriate - but not this time.

The Raptor and RR North knows South has a heart void and therefore at least
three clubs, once West raises.  In each of these cases, the Raptor bid steals
West's spade suit, as 2\S would be artificial.}
