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

Alistair,
I'm throwing my own exceptions in my own monad, not the IO one. But
thanks for pointing me to the stuff about dynamic types. I'm going to
be creative and pick some new names.

It's a decision one could debate, but it was an explicit choice.

Hi all,
I'm working on a program that uses my own brand of exceptions, and I
created two functions called 'throw' and 'catch'. In order for this to
work, I hide the Prelude 'catch' in my module, called 'Cont.hs'. Thus:
module Cont where
import Prelude hiding (catch)
...
throw = ...
catch = ...
