Most all of us play the Western Cuebid to ask partner for a stopper in the opponent's suit, but usually not in this bidding sequence, although it seems like a useful treatment for the bid.    Rebid 3 as a question to partner...  "Do you have a stopper in clubs?" Sometimes, even when you have enough points to play 3NT, it's a good idea to stay out of that contract!
