[FEATURE] Histogram method that maps an array of points to array of "weights"/contents

[abhijitm08]

Given an array of dimension (nrows, ndim) and given a histogram of dimension ndim, looking for a method that can return an array "weights" of dimension (nrows, 1) that has bin content for each point in my array (so not actually a weight per see).

Looking for something like (pseudo-code):

weights = hist.get_bin_content(array)

where the function get_bin_content internally figures out the bin number for a given ndim point (perhaps with np.digitize) and returns the bin content for that point.

Is there something like this already? (Sorry if I have missed it).
