How do I offset titles in `Plots.jl`? For example when the title overlaps with the colorbar

```julia
using Plots
pyplot()
heatmap(rand(100,100); title="title", titlefontsize=40, colorbar=:top)

```

produces something like  
 ![plot_7](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/b/5/b573260f5e2ae02e005ac25b160b453479cfd00c.png)

One common workaround in Plots.jl is to subplot:

```julia
using Plots; pyplot()
p1 = plot(title="title", titlefontsize=40, axis=nothing, framestyle=:none);
p2 = heatmap(rand(100,100), ratio=1);
plot(p1, p2, layout = grid(2, 1, heights=[-0.2, 1]), cb=:top)

```

_ **NB:** _  
_You may want to further fine tune the relative heights_

That is a neat solution. I used for my particular case `annotate!` and some hacky x/y-coordinates. Thank you!
