The way you've worded this, this means that after 1C-P-P, opener's
LHO, holding KJT8753 of clubs, can prevent his partner from doing
something embarrassing such as bidding a new suit or notrump, by
leading and hoping dummy is taken in and doesn't notice that there was
no final pass.  Are you sure this is what you want?  Or is there
something implied that I've missed?
