I guess I kind of have the viewpoint that if you're going to break the rules, there ought to be a damn good obvious reason for it.

e.e. cummings totally pulls it off. And there are other literary contexts where it does. But just changing quotation marks to something else in a novel for no apparent reason is a barrier to me reading that book when there are plenty others with punctuation marks that don't annoy me.
