This seems like an example where rebidding 2C works well?

Yes.

Why is everyone finding it so hard to come up with examples? The obvious one is KQxxx xxxx x Jxx. That ♣J is marvellous isn't it?

Thx all. This is a bit of a theoretical question, as in practice just about all roads lead to a slam. Pard had

♠ AKQTx
♥ KJTx
♦ xx
♣ JT

I think 2♣ is better, as it makes the rest of the bidding easier. As Roth would say, "If I can live through this round..."

I play that 2♣ is forcing (and 3♣ mini-splinter, and we like that).
Without 2♣ forcing: 2♣
