 Set optimizer attributes using `MOI.RawOptimizerAttribute` or

+## Names
+
+By default, variable and constraint names are stored in the MOI wrapper, but are
+_not_ passed to the inner CPLEX model object because doing so can lead to a
+large performance degradation. The downside of not passing names is that various
+log messages from CPLEX will report names like constraint "R1" and variable "C2"
+instead of their actual names. You can change this behavior using
+`pass_names = true` to force CPLEX.jl to pass variable and constraint names to
+the inner CPLEX model object.
+
 ## Example
 
 ```julia
 using JuMP, CPLEX
 const env = CPLEX.Env()
-model = JuMP.Model(() -> CPLEX.Optimizer(env))
+model = JuMP.Model(() -> CPLEX.Optimizer(env; pass_names = true))
 set_optimizer_attribute(model, "CPXPARAM_ScreenOutput", 0)
