Responder should just bid 2H on his first turn.  4-card major openers
still have 5+ of the suit much more often than just 4.  Also you don't
want opponents to find their clubs on the two level.
Responder doesn't want to double 2C is this auction.  Opponents are
a huge favorite to hold 8+ clubs, making 2C odds-on to make.
