Description
Hello, umap.plot.points does not seem to support a colour bar when colouring the points with continuous values, is this a design choice?
I've tried
```python
umap.plot.points(umap_object, values = array_of_numbers)
plt.colorbar()
```
With no success.
I think it'd be quite handy to have such functionality

Research direction
Start at umap.plot.points and inspect how continuous values are used to color points, then check how matplotlib's plt.colorbar receives the plotted object. Done means points colored by continuous values can expose a usable colorbar without breaking existing plotting behavior.
