This means
1. Sleep for 65 seconds
2. call foo()
3. Assert that it didn't throw

This means
1. Wait 65 seconds
2. Call the lambda, which calls foo()
3. Assert that it didn't throw.


So they are essentially the same.

Note that you can also use After with a second argument, the polling
interval, in which case the full 65 second wait may not be needed.
In that case, the method must be one that can be called repeatedly
without causing a problem.

Your use with Throws.Nothing doesn't seem to make a lot of sense,
however. The normal sequence for which we want to use this
constraint is:

1. Take an action
2. Wait a period of time
3. Observe the result

For example,
  worker.Start();
  Assert.That( worker.State, Is.EqualTo(WorkerState.Idle).After(30000);
