How to prevent indent, unindent (>>, <<) from re-aligning text?

Question

Is it possible to make indenting/unindenting not re-align text, eg:

/*
 * Some Text
 */

Indents to:

    /*
    * Some Text
    */

I would prefer/expect:

    /*
     * Some Text
     */

I saw spacemacs has an option for this, was curious to know if vim does too.

Set in the .vimrc

I find shiftround a very useful setting >95% of the time. For the remaining cases, I typically use block insert (select start lines with <C-v>, then use I<Tab><Esc>) to work around it.
