Depends on how you look at it. To have an erase or insert method be O(1), the iterator needs to consist of two pointers: one to the current node, and one to the node before it. That's because erase kills the current element, requiring the previous one for relinking. If it's not available, it must be searched, which is O(n). The same for insert, because insert inserts
before the iterator. (That's why forward_list has insert_after and erase_after.)
Now, the semantics of std::list was that erase and insert invalidate only iterators pointing to the erased node (i.e. none for insert). If you want the same thing for forward_list, your iterators can't contain two pointers, though: erasing the node directly before an iterator's location would invalidate that iterator. So would inserting a node at the location. (The iterator's prev pointer now points to a node two away.)
So you have a choice between sane invalidation semantics and constant time.
