Simon,
It also appears that if I don't call 'catch' from my module, I can import both and not have a conflict.

"5.6.2 Shadowing Prelude Names
The rules about the Prelude have been cast so that it is possible to use Prelude names for nonstandard purposes; however, every module that does so must have an import declaration that makes this nonstandard usage explicit."
It's a decision one could debate, but it was an explicit choice.
