[blml] The term "cue"

[Karel]

1D   2D
3C   4C
4H   5D

On this sequence 3C has in principle denied a heart stopper so the
subsequent cue bid "should" be based on shortage.  4H is not a splinter.  It
shows a control.  So I suppose what I am asking
 .. are the terms control and cue bid the same (ie) ace, king, void or
singleton.  If not then it means the answer "yes" to "is 4H a cue" was
incorrect.
