The util package that comes with Modelsim in the mti_util.vhd file includes an enumerated type forcetype that is defined as:

 VHDL
 
type forcetype is (default, deposit, drive, freeze);

In VHDL 2008, default is a new keyword. This causes problems in VHDL 2008 projects that use the util package. Still, Sigasi Visual HDL allows to use the modelsim_lib.util package in VHDL 2008 projects.
