The auction shown is an example of a major advantage of playing first or second round cues. After spades have been agreed at 3 ♠ and south shows slam interest opposite 15-16 with 3 NT, north cues 4 ♥ showing the stronger hand but denying any cue in clubs or diamonds. South can easily stop in 4 ♠.

Actually north's hand is really bad and maybe they should not even cooperate. Against that slam is better than 50% opposite four aces and that hand might not do more than 3 NT.
