+    Generate label name arrays using vectorized string ops when possible.
+
+    For simple prefix-based names (e.g. "x0", "x1", ..., "c0", "c1", ...),
+    uses np.char operations which are ~100x faster than np.vectorize for large
+    arrays (500K+ elements).
+
+    Falls back to np.vectorize for custom printer functions that require
+    per-element lookups (e.g. explicit coordinate names).
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    labels : np.ndarray
+        Integer label array.
+    prefix : str
+        Single-character prefix ("x" for variables, "c" for constraints).
+        Only used when printer is None.
+    printer : callable, optional
+        Custom scalar printer function. If provided, falls back to
+        np.vectorize (needed for explicit_coordinate_names mode).
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    np.ndarray
+        Object array of string names.
